There are various places in Asterisk - specifically in regards to
database integration - where having some kind of UTF-8 validation would
be beneficial. This patch adds:
* Functions to validate that a given string contains only valid UTF-8
sequences.
* A function to copy a string (similar to ast_copy_string) stopping when
an invalid UTF-8 sequence is encountered.
* A UTF-8 validator that allows for progressive validation.
All of this is based on the excellent UTF-8 decoder by Björn Höhrmann.

The API was written in such a way that should allow us to replace the
implementation later should we determine that we need something more
comprehensive.
