Alex Dowad 39b46a5398 Implement Unicode conditional casing rules for Greek letter sigma
The capital Greek letter sigma (Σ) should be lowercased as σ except
when it appears at the end of a word; in that case, it should be
lowercased as the special form ς.

This rule is included in the Unicode data file SpecialCasing.txt.
The condition for applying the rule is called "Final_Sigma" and is
defined in Unicode technical report 21. The rule is:

• For the special casing form to apply, the capital letter sigma must
  be preceded by 0 or more "case-ignorable" characters, preceded by
  at least 1 "cased" character.
• Further, capital sigma must NOT be followed by 0 or more
  case-ignorable characters and then at least 1 cased character.

"Case-ignorable" characters include certain punctuation marks, like
the apostrophe, as well as various accent marks. There are actually
close to 500 different case-ignorable characters, including accent marks
from Cyrillic, Hebrew, Armenian, Arabic, Syriac, Bengali, Gujarati,
Telugu, Tibetan, and many other alphabets. This category also includes
zero-width spaces, codepoints which indicate RTL/LTR text direction,
certain musical symbols, etc.

Since the rule involves scanning over "0 or more" of such
case-ignorable characters, it may be necessary to scan arbitrarily far
to the left and right of capital sigma to determine whether the special
lowercase form should be used or not. However, since we are trying to
be both memory-efficient and CPU-efficient, this implementation limits
how far to the left we will scan. Generally, we scan up to 63 characters
to the left looking for a "cased" character, but not more.

When scanning to the right, we go up to the end of the string if
necessary, even if it means scanning over thousands of characters.

Anyways, it is almost impossible to imagine that natural text will
include "words" with more than 63 successive apostrophes (for example)
followed by a capital sigma.

Closes GH-8096.

. mb_detect_encoding is better able to identify the correct encoding for Turkish text. (Alex Dowad)
. mb_detect_encoding's "non-strict" mode now behaves as described in the
documentation. Previously, it would return false if the very first byte
of the input string was invalid in all candidate encodings. (Alex Dowad)
. mb_strtolower, mb_strtotitle, and mb_convert_case implement conditional
casing rules for the Greek letter sigma. For mb_convert_case, conditional
casing only applies to MB_CASE_LOWER and MB_CASE_TITLE modes, not to
MB_CASE_LOWER_SIMPLE and MB_CASE_TITLE_SIMPLE. (Alex Dowad)
