fix case mapping for U+00DF (ß)

U+00DF ('ß') has had an uppercase form (U+1E9E) available since
Unicode 5.1, but Unicode lacks the case mappings for it due to
stability policy. when I added support for the new character in commit
1a63a9fc30e7a1f1239e3cedcb5041e5ec1c5351, I omitted the mapping in the
lowercase-to-uppercase direction. this choice was not based on any
actual information, only assumptions.

this commit adds bidirectional case mappings between U+00DF and
U+1E9E, and removes the special-case hack that allowed U+00DF to be
identified as lowecase despite lacking a mapping. aside from strong
evidence that this is the "right" behavior for real-world usage of
these characters, several factors informed this decision:

- the other "potentially correct" mapping, to "SS", is not
  representable in the C case-mapping system anyway.

- leaving one letter in lowercase form when transforming a string to
  uppercase is obviously wrong.

- having a character which is nominally lowercase but which is fixed
  under case mapping violates reasonable invariants.
