[PATCH] Create #defines for a few chars that need special handling for casing, folding; clean up ebcdic

There are three characters in the Latin-1 range that need special
handling when folding or casing; this patch gives their ordinal numbers
in both Latin1 (Unicode) and EBCDIC in header files.

The patch cleans up some awkwardness between ebcdic and unicode, to make
a macro work for both of them, instead of having two definitions that do
the same thing.

And it calls a synonym macro that I think is clearer in intent than the
current synonym called.
