Peter Eisentraut f85a485f89 Add support for automatically updating Unicode derived files
We currently have several sets of files generated from data provided
by Unicode.  These all have ad hoc rules and instructions for updating
when new Unicode versions appear, and it's not done consistently.

This patch centralizes and automates the process and makes it part of
the release checklist.  The Unicode and CLDR versions are specified in
Makefile.global.in.  There is a new make target "update-unicode" that
downloads all the relevant files and runs the generation script.

There is also a new script for generating the table of combining
characters for ucs_wcwidth().  That table is now in a separate include
file rather than hardcoded into the middle of other code.  This is
based on the script that was used for generating
d8594d123c, but the script itself wasn't
committed at that time.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
