Mark de Wever df2af9936c [libc++][format] Add a CMake Unicode option.
This option is used to select between the format headers output column
width option. This option should be independent of the locale setting.
It's encouraged to default to Unicode unless the platform doesn't offer
that option.

[format.string.std]/10
```
  For the purposes of width computation, a string is assumed to be in a
  locale-independent, implementation-defined encoding. Implementations
  should use a Unicode encoding on platforms capable of displaying Unicode
```

What's New in Libc++ 14.0.0?
============================
New Features
------------
- There's initial support for the C++20 header ``<format>``. The implementation
is incomplete. Some functions are known to be inefficient; both in memory
usage and performance. The implementation is considered experimental and isn't
considered ABI stable.
- There's a new CMake option ``LIBCXX_ENABLE_UNICODE`` to disable Unicode
support in the ``<format>`` header. This only affects the estimation of the
output width of the format functions.
