Currently the function responsible for converting between utf16 and
utf8 strings will ignore any characters that cannot be converted. This
however also includes multi-byte characters that do not fit into the
provided string buffer.

This can cause problems if such a multi-byte character is followed by
a single-byte character. In such a case the multi-byte character might
be ignored when the provided string buffer is too small, but the
single-byte character might fit and is thus still copied into the
resulting string.

Fix this by stop filling the provided string buffer once a character
does not fit. In order to be able to do this extend utf32_to_utf8()
to return useful errno codes instead of -1.
