KSX1001 charmap is broken



localedata/charmaps/KSX1001 has the following flaws:

- It is lacking all the Hangul and CJK ideographic characters from KSX1001
  (how nice for a Korean character set!)
- It uses bytes >= 0x80, like EUC-KR does, however KSX1001 really uses bytes
  < 0x80.
- Its code_set_name KS_X_1001 differs from the file name, and neither of
  these two is a IANA approved encoding name.

Given that we now have a correct EUC-KR charmap and that iconv doesn't support
the KSX1001 coded character set on its own, I suggest to remove the KSX1001
charmap.
