Five strings now operate in Unicode rune units by default. Core string
functions (LEN/CHR/ASC/SUBSTR/LEFT/RIGHT/AT/PADR/PADL) are charset-aware:
UTF-8 rune semantics by default, byte/charset semantics when a legacy
charset (CP949, CP1252, ...) is selected. Initial charset is settable via
FIVE_CHARSET / HB_CODEPAGE env vars; default UTF8.
- hbrtl/charset.go: charset state + Str* helpers + DecodeToUTF8/EncodeFromUTF8
+ RTL HB_GETCHARSET/HB_SETCHARSET/HB_CDPSELECT/HB_TRANSLATE (x/text htmlindex)
- compiler/gengo: inlined string intrinsics now call charset-aware hbrtl.Str*
helpers instead of byte-based Go (they previously bypassed the RTL registry)
- compiler/analyzer: register HB_GETCHARSET/HB_SETCHARSET/HB_TRANSLATE as known
- hbrtl/regex.go: add HB_REGEX (array-of-submatches)
