[libstd_unicode] Change UNICODE_VERSION to use u32

Looks like there's no strong reason to keep these values at `u64`.

With the current plans for the Unicode Standard, `u8` should be enough for the next 200 years. To stay on the safe side, I'm using `u16` here. I don't see a reason to go with anything machine-dependent/more-efficient.
