Implement NFG on JVM #241

The MoarVM backend provides the NFG (Normalization Form Grapheme) primitives wanted by Perl 6 for sensible string handling, but the JVM backend is still lacking an implementation.

The main components of this are implementing a custom string class with NFG semantics and replacing the relevant occurrences of java.lang.String with that, as well as implementing the relevant nqp::ops.

An open question is whether Java provides enough of the Unicode Character Database (UCD) to implement it.
