define MRB_UTF8_STRING (in mrbconf.h) to enable UTF-8 support.

C API documentation

some routines need to refer mruby objects (e.g. callbacks), in that case
you have to protect your objects from garbage collection. the new functions
mrb_gc_register() keeps those objects from GC. you have to remove your
objects using mrb_gc_unregister() when your C routines use mruby objects
any longer, otherwise objects will leak.

Fix indents

Replace 1 with TURE macro

Problem: Hash#fetch doesn't raise KeyError when a key cannot be found

Don't crash if NULL is passed to mrb_close

target_class should be singleton class of the receiver

Sometimes it is very useful just return from mrb_close if NULL is
passed as mrb.  This is the same spirit of free(3), which just does
nothing if NULL is passed.

Add mrb_utf8_from_locale, mrb_utf8_free, mrb_locale_from_utf8, mrb_locale_free

Add mrb_utf8_from_locale, mrb_utf8_free, mrb_locale_from_utf8, mrb_locale_free. Just works for windows.

Customize installation directory using INSTALL_DIR environment variable

Previously, minirake installed several commands (e.g., mrbc) in
repository locally under bin directory.  But there was no knob for
users to change this directory.  It effectively made `make distcheck`
fail if mruby was embedded into project managed by autotools.

This change adds a way for the user to change installation directory
by setting INSTALL_DIR environment variable.

freeze the hash keys (fixes #2945)
