Unicode branch created

There have been plans for a long time to support Unicode in the XP Framework - our RFC titled "Unicode" dates back to December, 2007. Now, finally, to kickstart development, we've created a Unicode branch from current trunk, meaning this is an XP 5.8.0-dev with Unicode support. There is no release yet, so to give it a test run, you will need a checkout:

  # Developer
  $ svn co svn+ssh://$(USER)@svn.xp-framework.net/home/svn/xp/branches/unicode/
  
  # Anonymous
  $ svn co svn://svn.xp-framework.net/xp/branches/unicode

The big changes in this branch are that all stream classes now return lang.types.Bytes instances, and all readers return lang.types.String instances, to be able to separate bytes from characters (in single-byte characters sets such as iso-8859-1, this is the same, in Unicode it isn't.
