utf8_heavy.pl: Make callable during Perl's compilation
It's possible for this to be called during the compilation phase of Perl by miniperl before the Unicode tables have been built. This patch checks if dynamic loading is available, and if not evals the require needed to gain access to the tables. If it succeeds, the tables have been built; if it doesn't, instead of dying, just return empty tables, as currently the things being built don't require information outside the ASCII range, which is hard-coded into Perl without needing the tables. In the future, that may not be the case, and then likely the tables will have to be shipped with Perl, and make regen would be done to rebuild them.
