Reject invisible characters outside Cf.

A root such as msh/US/CA\u034F passes this check, although U+034F is invisible. It looks like msh/US/CA but identifies a different MQTT topic. Reject \p{Default_Ignorable_Code_Point} as well. (unicode.org)

Review comment at @tools/validate.ts at line 219:
Update the validation check on e.root to reject Unicode
Default_Ignorable_Code_Point characters in addition to whitespace, control
characters, and format characters, ensuring invisible characters such as U+034F
are rejected.

Allow marks needed by subdivision names.

This expression rejects दिल्ली because its vowel signs and virama are Unicode marks, not letters. NFC does not remove those marks. Directory mappings therefore cannot preserve subdivision names in scripts such as Devanagari and Thai. Allow required \p{M} characters while still rejecting invisible characters. (unicode.org)

Review comment at @tools/validate.ts at line 275:
Update the segment validation regex in the validation flow to allow Unicode
marks needed in subdivision names, while continuing to reject invisible
characters and preserving the existing letter, number, underscore, and hyphen
rules.
