utf8_iter

utf8_iter provides iteration by char over potentially-invalid UTF-8 &[u8] such that UTF-8 errors are handled according to the WHATWG Encoding Standard.

Key parts of the code are copypaste from the UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion code in encoding_rs, which was optimized for speed in the case of valid input. The implementation here uses the structure that was found to be fast in the encoding_rs context but the structure hasn't been benchmarked in this context.

This is a no_std crate.
