[PATCH v2 0/2] commit: improve UTF-8 validation

From

<cover.1372957719.git.sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

This series contains a pair of patches that improve the validation of the UTF-8 used in commit messages. Invalid codepoints, such as surrogates and guaranteed non-characters, are rejected, along with overlong UTF-8 sequences.

Changes from v1:
* Improved comments to aid those less familiar with Unicode.
* Generated test files using printf as part of the test.
* Removed FIXME comments for things that have been fixed.
* Use a shorter form for detecting surrogate pairs.
