Re: [whatwg/encoding] Remove the last 14 characters PUA of GB18030-2005 (#27)

@annevk It's true that the modern world should use UTF-8 for information exchange, processing and storage. But given that character representations in UTF-8 relies on codepoints assigned in Unicode, it makes sense to use the formal, universal codepoint assignments instead of private-use assignments. As stated previously, by using PUAs you are speaking in a Unicode dialect codepoint-wise, and this results in a less interchangeable UTF-8 dialect.
