 * Unescapes HTML entities in text.

 * ```ts
 * import { unescape } from "@std/html/entities";
 * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
 *
 * assertEquals(unescape("&lt;&gt;&#39;&amp;AA"), "<>'&AA");
 * assertEquals(unescape("&thorn;&eth;"), "&thorn;&eth;");

 *
 * This uses the full named entity list from the HTML spec (~47K un-minified)
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { unescape } from "@std/html/entities";
 * import entityList from "@std/html/named-entity-list.json" with { type: "json" };
 * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
 *
 * assertEquals(unescape("&lt;&gt;&#39;&amp;AA", { entityList }), "<>'&AA");

 * @param str The string to unescape.
 * @param options Options for unescaping.
 * @returns The unescaped string.
