Add a UTF-8 encoding method, which will eventually replace the antique
"UTF2" method. Although UTF-8 and the old UTF2 encoding are compatible
for 16-bit characters, the new UTF-8 implementation is much more strict
about rejecting malformed input and also handles the full 31 bit range
of characters.
