[lex] Tables 1 and 2 are in an unappealing place #8430

Description

@tkoeppe

Paraphrasing from @hubert-reinterpretcast's message: "Tables 1 and 2 are logically from [lex.charset] but are rendered "physically" as part of [lex.universal.char]".

The tables are floats in LaTeX and not directly tied to the flow of the body content, so this is entirely plausible. Note in particular that Table 1 is very long and puts placement pressure on other floats.

I'm certainly most happy to entertain point fixes here (e.g. mild source reordering or explicit float flushing). Beware though that anything other than a complete two-sided flush fence (which would have a potentially high whitespace cost) is likely to be brittle and become suboptimal again as the surrounding material changes. (We should have a particularly close look at table placement right at the end of the IS publication stage, though; as part of a general "vertical review". That won't make it into the draft, but we can make sure the published document looks good.)
