gnu: Remove utf8proc-bootstrap.

More precisely, rename the utf8proc-bootstrap package, built without tests,
to utf8proc, and drop the current utf8proc with tests depending on julia.

* gnu/packages/textutils.scm (utf8proc-bootstrap): Rename to...
(utf8proc): ...this and drop the previous definition.
* gnu/packages/julia.scm (julia)[inputs]: Replace utf8proc-bootstrap by
utf8proc.
