Replace the insertion sort used for canonical ordering of combining
characters with a hybrid approach: insertion sort for short runs (< 20)
and counting sort for longer runs, reducing worst-case complexity from
O(n^2) to O(n). This prevents denial of service via crafted Unicode
strings with many combining characters in alternating CCC order.
(cherry picked from commit 991224b)

We were waiting for these as Bedevere can create them from #150843

Were there conflicts you had to fix for these?
