Merge branch 'pan/unicode_printable_ranges'
* pan/unicode_printable_ranges: Adapt stdlib tests to ~tp detecting latin1 binaries Update primary bootstrap Make wx debugger use +pc flag when applicable Correct misspelled comments and space at lin ends Make ~tp output latin1 binaries as strings if possible Leave the +pc handling to io and io_lib_pretty Remove newly introduced warning in erlexec.c Make shell_SUITE:otp_10302 use +pc unicode when needed Fix io_proto_SUITE to handle the new io_lib_pretty:print Add testcase for +pc and io:printable_range/0 Make printing of UTF-8 in binaries behave like lists. Document +pc flag and io:printable_range/0 Add usage of and spec for io:printable_range/0 Add +pc {latin1|unicode} switch and io:printable_range/0 Fix some Unicode issues OTP-18084

+ <p>Sets the range of characters that the system will consider printable in heuristic detection of strings. This typically affects the shell, debugger and io:format functions (when ~tp is used in the format string).</p>
+ <p>Currently two values for the <c>Range</c> are supported:
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>latin1</c></tag> <item>The default. Only characters
+ in the ISO-latin-1 range can be considered printable, which means
+ that a character with a code point &gt; 255 will never be
+ considered printable and that lists containing such
+ characters will be displayed as lists of integers rather
+ than text strings by tools.</item>
+ <tag><c>unicode</c></tag>
+ <item>All printable Unicode characters are considered when
+ determining if a list of integers is to be displayed in
+ string syntax. This may give unexpected results if for
+ example your font does not cover all Unicode
+ characters.</item>
