Normative: remove tables of Unicode property values and aliases
Following the acceptance of L2/22-029, Proposal to guarantee stability of spelling of property names, values, and aliases in UCD, we no longer need to keep these tables.
Not sure if we need all the "Unicode property" clarification or if we could just use "property" in most places. I guess same goes for existing usage of "Unicode code point". The qualifier mostly seems unnecessary.
What’s the timeline on getting the accepted proposal reflected “on paper” in the Unicode Standard?
Not sure. @markusicu could probably answer. I was just going to let this PR sit until it happened, unless the committee asks for it to be merged sooner when I ask for consensus.

The new policy has been approved by the Unicode Technical Committee and by the Unicode executive officers. I don't know when it will be published on the website.
