Unicode 6.3 adds five new control characters for Bidi support (LRI, RLI, FSI, PDI, and ALM). There are also four new Bidi Class values that correspond to the first four characters (LRI, RLI, FSI, PDI).

We need to:

* Add the new Bidi classes to our code.

* Regenerate the character data.

Hi Simon,

Even though I'll be porting changes from ICU as much as possible, this particular patch will still be needed. Please review it when you have a moment.
