Russ Cox 930cf59ba8 regexp/syntax: recognize category aliases like \p{Letter}
The Unicode specification defines aliases for some of the general
category names. For example the category "L" has alias "Letter".

The regexp package supports \p{L} but not \p{Letter}, because there
was nothing in the Unicode tables that lets regexp know about Letter.
Now that package unicode provides CategoryAliases (see #70780),
we can use it to provide \p{Letter} as well.

This is the only feature missing from making package regexp suitable
for use in a JSON-API Schema implementation. (The official test suite
includes usage of aliases like \p{Letter} instead of \p{L}.)

For better conformity with Unicode TR18, also accept case-insensitive
matches for names and ignore underscores, hyphens, and spaces;
and add Any, ASCII, and Assigned.

Fixes #70781.
