Support preferentially the Unicode 'scripts' definition
in the \p{In...} notation since according to Unicode the scripts concept is more natural for matching than using the somewhat artificial block names. The block names are still available, though, and if there's a name conflict, the scripts one wins and the blocks one has to do with 'Block' appended to its name. For more information see http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr24/ p4raw-id: //depot/perl@11132
