Description
The ICU library does not free some resources on program shutdown as an optimization. Leak checkers hate this simple trick, as reported by the Debian folks: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=988417 .
The ICU library provides a workaround that may be called to cleanup these resources as part of unit tests or debug builds that may require it to not clutter the diagnostic output. Add a new function to OFCharacterEncoding that calls this cleanup code (u_cleanup()) and use it appropriately.

- Category set to Library and Apps
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
Support for ICU will be removed in a future version of DCMTK, so there is no need to implement this feature.
