license: add SPDX-License-Identifier to touched files
as to fully comply with BSD license (for why Library GPL 2+ not
compatible see https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/6701),
~3% slower (maybe), +~6K extra in data
(gb18030.c, gb2313.c & sjis.c removed, mapping .TXT files moved
to backend/tools/data & extra ones added, 2 new PHP generators)

small tweaks/typos
ZINT_WARN_INVALID_OPTION instead of 0 on ignored option;
more barcode synonyms

add shortcuts for copy-to-clipboard and CLI equivalent
CLI: new --version option to print Zint version
GRIDMATRIX, HANXIN, MAXICODE, MICROPDF417, PDF417, QRCODE, RMQR, ULTRA
RMQR: fix ECI encoding (wrong bit length for indicator)
MICROQR: check versions M1 and M2 for allowed characters so as to give
better error messages
DOTCODE: some small optimizations
common.c: add is_chr(), segs_length(), segs_cpy()
CODEONE/CODE128/DOTCODE/GRIDMATRIX/HANXIN/MAXICODE/QRCODE/ULTRA: add
namespace prefixes to static funcs/data
includes: use Z_ prefix, unuse double underscore prefixes (guard defines)
manual.txt: compress some tables using double/treble column sets
UTF-16LE, GBK, separate GB18030, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE
add examples to tests for DATAMATRIX, HANXIN, QRCODE
HANXIN: Remove alternating filler in function information;
GB 18030 now ECI 32 (previously used ECI 29);
fix gate-posts on codeword limits
use new ZXing-C++ HanXin detector (diagnostics2 branch) for tests
check against ISO/IEC 20830:2021 (no substantive changes)
backend_tcl: update ECIs; NOTE: changed names "unicode" -> "utf-16be",
"euc-cn" -> "gb2312"
GRIDMATRIX/HANXIN/QRCODE/RMQR: warn if auto-conversion (i.e. no ECI given)
occurs to resp. specialized char sets (GB 2312/GB 18030/Shift JIS)
vertical whitespace, as they're decorative rather than functional (#247)
Allow for dot overspill in height of vertical box sides (dotty mode)
Move is_dotty(), is_fixed_ratio() from library.c to common.c
Add FAST_MODE input_mode flag and --fast CLI/Tcl option that selects older
faster ISO algorithm (may be used by other symbologies in the future)
and "Fast Encoding" checkbox to Data Matrix GUI
GUI: adds Zint version numbers to DATAMATRIX sizes.
DMATAMATRIX: fix look ahead BASE256 use of dm_text_sp_cnt() on switching;
simplify dm_add_tail()
GUI: check suffixes on save so don't go into error state;
use native path for Save As clipboard message
CODE128: use gs1_check_digit() for NVE18 and EAN14
generated by libzint. Whether or not those barcodes are correct should be
validated in the test suite for libzint, for qZint it's good enough to
produce the same printouts that libzint does, which isn't trivial, especially
as some API names have different meanings, such as qZint ```text```
is libzint ```data```. Props Alonso Schaich <alonso@freebsd.org>
and set Escaped flag; fix tooltip that they're converted to spaces;
sequence dialog: re-organize to put Create Sequence stuff only in groupbox
and put Import -> From File and Clear at bottom, similar to data dialog;
mainwindow: use new Escaped flag from data dialog and set checkbox and
statusbar message accordingly
