(svn r9354) [0.5] -Backport from trunk (r8975, r9003, r9011, r9012):
-Regression: [win32] Possible buffer overflow if unicode text is pasted into an input box and needs trimming. (r8975)
-Codechange: Introduce a function Utf8PrevCharLen that finds the starting character of an UTF-8 sequence from a given position and returns the length to the first UTF-8 encoding byte of that sequence. (r9003)
-Codechange: Rework Utf8PrevChar so that it returns a pointer to the previous UTF8 character's first byte instead of a byte-length offset (r9011)
-Fix: When cutting strings into multiple lines also take into consideration whitespace characters of more than 1 byte length (eg IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE, IsWhitespace() function). When trimming such strings, account for multiple-byte long sequences so use *Utf8PrevChar(v) = '\0'. (r9012)
-Codechange: Add a function Utf8TrimString() that properly trims a string to an UTF8 encoding seperation instead of somewhere in the wild (and use it in the chat area) (r9012)
