auto: increment master version to 17.0.238

chore(developer): honor prompt to upgrade in kmc

feat(developer): Consolidate public APIs for kmc modules

- needed to remove/re-add the “≈≈[\u0001-\uD7FE]” format  (aka LDML_MARKER_ANY_INDEX)

#9121

- escape markers to prevent the n'th marker from having some other meaning

- marker overrun! the 40th marker becomes a parenthesis, breaking regex

feat(core): ldml proper regex implementation 🙀🙀 #9121

- more easily handle test events

- match in a set
- quantifiers

For: #9121

- more err reporting out of inner functions such as key not found
- helper functions for setting FAIL and SKIP actions with messages
- colorization

For: #9121

- the intermediate stages of transforms also need to use marker-safe normalization
- re-enable a test that was failing previously due to this

For: #9468

auto: increment master version to 17.0.237

- when a required section is missing, only throw an internal error IF we haven't already flagged a problem.  for example, if 'vars' fails to compile because of a problem, and we already have an error on file, then don't throw an internal error that 'bksp' depends on uninitialized 'vars'.

- mimic this flow in the test helpers.

- add a test case for this in the test helpers, in test-tran

- add a strictError flag to say that no additional errs are allowed.

Fixes: #10291
