Adds support for text presentation sequences.
Just as emoji presentation sequences can transform non-emoji characters into emoji (potentially increasing their width),
text presentation sequences can transform emoji into non-emoji (potentially decreasing their width). For example, U+1F004 MAHJONG TILE RED DRAGON has emoji presentation by default, but with a text presentation selector it should become narrow like all the other Mahjong tile characters.
Some default-emoji characters should clearly remain wide even in text presentation, however. U+1F21A SQUARED CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-7121 is one such example.
What does Unicode say about all this? The latest draft of UAX 16 says:
In other words, we're on our own. I've chosen to make default-emoji in the Enclosed Ideographic Supplement block remain wide, and have all others become ambiguous-width.
