Alexander Barkov d8f172c11c MDEV-27266 Improve UCA collation performance for utf8mb3 and utf8mb4
Adding two levels of optimization:

1. For every bytes pair [00..FF][00..FF] which:
  a. consists of two ASCII characters or makes a well-formed two-byte character
  b. whose total weight string fits into 4 weights
     (concatenated weight string in case of two ASCII characters,
     or a single weight string in case of a two-byte character)
  c. whose weight is context independent (i.e. does not depend on contractions
     or previous context pairs)
  store weights in a separate array of MY_UCA_2BYTES_ITEM,
  so during scanner_next() we can scan two bytes at a time.
  Byte pairs that do not match the conditions a-c are marked in this array
  as not applicable for optimization and scanned as before.

2. For every byte pair which is applicable for optimization in #1,
   and which produces only one or two weights, store
   weights in one more array of MY_UCA_WEIGHT2. So in the beginning
   of strnncoll*() we can skip equal prefixes using an even more efficient
   loop. This loop consumes two bytes at a time. The loop scans while the
   two bytes on both sides produce weight strings of equal length
   (i.e. one weight on both sides, or two weight on both sides).
   This allows to compare efficiently:
   - Context independent sequences consisting of two ASCII characters
   - Context independent 2-byte characters
   - Contractions consisting of two ASCII characters, e.g. Czech "ch".
   - Some tricky cases: "ss" vs "SHARP S"
     ("ss" produces two weights, 0xC39F also produces two weights)

Unit tests directory structure
------------------------------

This is the current structure of the unit tests.  More directories
will be added over time.

mytap                 Source for the MyTAP library
mysys                 Tests for mysys components
  bitmap-t.c          Unit test for MY_BITMAP
  base64-t.c          Unit test for base64 encoding functions
examples              Example unit tests.
  core-t.c            Example of raising a signal in the middle of the test
		      THIS TEST WILL STOP ALL FURTHER TESTING!
  simple-t.c          Example of a standard TAP unit test
  skip-t.c            Example where some test points are skipped
  skip_all-t.c        Example of a test where the entire test is skipped
  todo-t.c            Example where test contain test points that are TODO
  no_plan-t.c         Example of a test with no plan (avoid this)


Executing unit tests
--------------------

To make and execute all unit tests in the directory:

   make test

Observe that the tests in the examples/ directory are just various
examples of tests and are not expected to pass.


Adding unit tests
-----------------

Add a file with a name of the format "foo-t.c" to the appropriate
directory and add the following to the Makefile.am in that directory
(where ... denotes stuff already there):

  noinst_PROGRAMS = ... foo-t

Note, it's important to have "-t" at the end of the filename, otherwise the
test won't be executed by 'make test' !


Documentation
-------------

The generated documentation is temporarily placed at:

      http://www.kindahl.net/mytap/doc/

I will move it to a better place once I figure out where and how.
