There are several dash characters whose shapes are similar each other in Unicode standard. For example, Unicode standard defines HYPHEN-MINUS (U+002D), HYPHEN (U+2010), NON-BREAKING HYPHEN (U+2011), FIGURE DASH (U+2012), EN-DASH (U+2013), HORIZONTAL BAR (or QUOTATION DASH U+2015), and MINUS SIGN (U+2212). It is not clear that all dash characters are allowed or there are any restrictions.

Clarify the Unicode code points that are allowed for numberInDash value in ST_NumberFormat.
