Alan Stern 74675a5850 NLS: update handling of Unicode
This patch (as1239) updates the kernel's treatment of Unicode.  The
character-set conversion routines are well behind the current state of
the Unicode specification: They don't recognize the existence of code
points beyond plane 0 or of surrogate pairs in the UTF-16 encoding.

The old wchar_t 16-bit type is retained because it's still used in
lots of places.  This shouldn't cause any new problems; if a
conversion now results in an invalid 16-bit code then before it must
have yielded an undefined code.

Difficult-to-read names like "utf_mbstowcs" are replaced with more
transparent names like "utf8s_to_utf16s" and the ordering of the
parameters is rationalized (buffer lengths come immediate after the
pointers they refer to, and the inputs precede the outputs).
Fortunately the low-level conversion routines are used in only a few
places; the interfaces to the higher-level uni2char and char2uni
methods have been left unchanged.
