Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decoding
The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters 16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded. There is two ways to fix that inconsistency. We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally within an application and it will make encoding and decoding slightly faster.
