> Invalid characters in UCS2 to UTF8 translation are not handled correctly

> When translating from UCS-2 to UTF-8, using CAST or TRANSLATE(...
> UCS2TOUTF8), all valid characters will map easily to a UTF-8 character.
> However, if we encounter invalid code points or invalid UTF-16 surrogate
> pairs, those could raise errors. Right now we just suppress those errors.
> Instead we should either translate them to the Unicode "replacement
> character" U+FFFD or we should raise an error. Ideally, we should have a CQD
> that decides which of these two actions to take.
> Test case:
> create table tbaducs2(a char(10) character set ucs2);
> -- DC00 is a low-order UTF-16 surrogate, on its own this is invalid
> insert into tbaducs2 values(_ucs2 X'DC000041');
> select translate(a using ucs2toutf8) from tbaducs2;
> -- this returns an empty string - no error, no replacement character
