+ Log: 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().
