normalizeTextfunction

A text made plain for a lookup: composed and compatibility forms folded together (NFKC, so full-width letters and digits become half-width and half-width kana full-width), whitespace collapsed to single spaces and trimmed, spaces beside Japanese removed, invisible and control characters removed, and a dash between kana, or ending kana, made the long vowel mark ー. Kana are not folded: that is foldKana's. Anything that is not a string, and a text longer than a word can be, gives an empty text.
