1. Revert special emoji support …

   `dconf dump` uses `g_variant_print`, which prints most Unicode characters verbatim.
   dconf2nix would read those and then use `show` to serialize the parsed strings.
   But `show` encodes Unicode characters as a decimal number preceded by a backslash,
   (e.g. `\129315`), which means nothing to Nix.
   
   We have previously implemented special handling of strings consisting of just
   a single emoji code point, to be able to import GNOME Characters history.
   But an emoji glyph can consist of multiple code points, which was not handled.
   
   Let’s revert the emoji hack and add systematic Unicode support in next commit.

2. Add full Unicode support …

   `dconf dump` uses `g_variant_print`, which prints most Unicode characters verbatim.
   dconf2nix would read those and then use `show` to serialize the parsed strings.
   But `show` encodes Unicode characters as a decimal number preceded by a backslash,
   (e.g. `\129315`), which means nothing to Nix.
   
   Let’s encode strings as UTF-8 when dumping them to Nix.
   
   Also fix the test data from e2b5065,
   they were copied as reported by `parserTraced` but the actual data
   was mostly Unicode with few escape sequences.
