The amount of aliases in the likely-subtags dataset is quite large, so
this also needed to change the way the data is generated. Otherwise, the
compiler would complain about the size of the generated code.
Previously, a static method was generated that would effectively parse
the dataset into a HashMap of Unicode::LanguageID at runtime. We now
perform that parsing at generation-time, and instead generate an Array
of a structure similar to Unicode::LanguageID (we cannot use the same
structure because it contains String and Optional, which cannot be used
at compile-time).
CLDR contains a set of likely subtag data where, given a locale, you can
resolve what is the most likely language, script, or territory of that
locale. This data is needed for resolving territory aliases. These
aliases might contain multiple territories, and we need to resolve which
of those territories is most likely correct for a locale.
Note that the likely subtag data is quite huge (a few thousand entries).
As an optimization encouraged by the spec, we only generate the smallest
subset of this data that we actually need (about 150 entries).
Most alias substitutions are "simple", meaning that alias matching is
done by examining a single locale subtag. However, there are a handful
of "complex" aliases where matching is done by examining multiple
subtags. For example, the variant subtag "lojban" causes the locale
"art-lojban" to be canonicalized to "jbo", but only when the language
subtag is "art" (i.e. this should not occur for the locale "en-lojban").
This generates a method to perform complex alias matching.
CLDR contains a set of aliases for languages, territories, etc. that no
longer are meant to be used (e.g. due to deprecation). For example, the
language "aam" is deprecated and should be canonicalized as "aas".
This allows us to remove all the add_subdirectory calls from the top
level CMakeLists.txt that referred to targets linking LagomCore.
Segregating the host tools and Serenity targets helps us get to a place
where the main Serenity build can simply use a CMake toolchain file
rather than swapping all the compiler/sysroot variables after building
host libraries and tools.
