Remove normalization from the codebase

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use normalize with accented characters 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Split out base and accent characters. Accented characters are probably removed.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

This is an issue currently in trunk and in the 1.4 branch (revision 902).
The 1.4 branch used (until 902) sun.text.Normalizer which is proprietary.
This does not work in current JDKs (1.6 tried). 1.6 added a
java.text.Normalizer but this is not available in 1.4 or 1.5.

To properly fix this I think we're going to have to implement our own until
we only support 1.6 and latter which isn't going to happen soon;)

This needs to be fixed for 2.0-final

While we officially support 1.5, since 1.5 has reached EOL it is pretty 
important
that the ESAPI work with 1.6+

We should just remove all normalization from the codebase. Not needed.
