Reuse bibers data file for Latex to Unicode conversion #1252

@tobiasdiez

Description

@tobiasdiez

Biber has a nice list mapping latex commands to their unicode equivalent: https://github.com/plk/biber/blob/dev/lib/Biber/LaTeX/recode_data.xml.
After a quick look, this list seems to be more extensive than our map. Moreover, I like the xml format.

Thus I propose to switch to XML and reuse Biber's file (maybe with some additions which we can hand back to the biber team). The XML format has also the advantage that a help file listing all the conversations can be easily created .

@oscargus you worked a lot on this stuff. Are you willing to work on this issue too?
