We currently use `unicode_normalization` to handle the `String.prototype.normalize` method. However, the crate doesn't support UTF-16 as a first class string, so we had to do some hacks by converting the valid parts of a string to UTF-8, normalizing each one, encoding back to UTF-16 and concatenating everything with the unpaired surrogates within. All of this is obviously suboptimal for performance, which is why I leveraged the `icu_normalizer`, which does support UTF-16 input, to replace our current implementation.
Additionally, this allows users to override the default normalization data if the `intl` feature is enabled by providing the required data in the `BoaProvider` data provider.
