Subject: All platforms use same code to remove context-dependent codepoints
 from text input.

This commit introduces function fl_utf8_remove_context_dependent() that removes
from an UTF-8 string its context-dependent codepoints. Platforms macOS, Wayland
and X11 call this function to process UTF-8 text received from a character palette
as input to FLTK text. This makes sure FLTK text-editing widgets process textual input
equally and consistently across platforms, especially emojis entered via a palette.

Platform Windows creates a series of separate system events to input an emoji
via the character palette. For this reason, function fl_utf8_remove_context_dependent()
is not used by this platform which does internally the same filtering of context-
dependent codepoints.
