Make the UTF-8 decoding stricter and more verbose when

malformation happens.  This involved adding an argument
to utf8_to_uv_chk(), which involved changing its prototype,
and prefer STRLEN over I32 for the UTF-8 length, which as
a domino effect necessitated changing the prototypes of
scan_bin(), scan_oct(), scan_hex(), and reg_uni().
The stricter UTF-8 decoding checking uses Markus Kuhn's
UTF-8 Decode Stress Tester from
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt
