Add simple codepoint redirections to unaccent.rules.
Previously we searched for code points where the Unicode data file
listed an equivalent combining character sequence that added accents.
Some codepoints redirect to a single other codepoint, instead of doing
any combining. We can follow those references recursively to get the
answer.
Per bug report #18362, which reported missing Ancient Greek characters.
Specifically, precomposed characters with oxia (from the polytonic
accent system used for old Greek) just point to precomposed characters
with tonos (from the monotonic accent system for modern Greek), and we
have to follow the extra hop to find out that they are composed with
an acute accent.
Besides those, the new rule also:
* pulls in a lot of 'Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols', which are
copies of the Latin and Greek alphabets and numbers rendered
in different typefaces, and
* corrects a single mathematical letter that previously came from the
CLDR transliteration file, but the new rule extracts from the main
Unicode database file, where clearly the latter is right and the
former is a wrong (reported to CLDR).
