Merge: Native Types

Merge: Native Types

Since we plan on conforming with UTF-8, chars can no longer be of C char type, this PR changes the internal representation of a Char to become capable of holding an arbitrary Unicode code point.

Since chars become unsigned entities, and since NativeString will hold Byte values soon, its c type has been changed to unsigned char* as preparation for the migration

This is all related and necessary for #1262.
