Bug #24037 Lossy Hebrew to Unicode conversion

Description:
FD is left-to-right mark (U+200E) and FE is right-to-left mark (U+200F), as specified in a newer amendment as ISO/IEC 8859-8:1999.

Our uint16 to_uni_hebrew_bin[] = {

defines those as 0x0000,0x0000

This results in hebrew character set unusable in unicode contexts, as well as default mysqldump output. 

How to repeat:
Due to lossy character set issues, testcase will be attached as file.

Suggested fix:
Use 'binary' as default mysqldump character set?
Implement ISO/IEC 8859-8:1999 changes in 'hebrew' character set.
