-----------
utf8_to_bytes: take U8 * directly, not char *
Previously, the buf parameter was declared as `char *`, but the function
body only used it cast to `U8 *`. Declaring the parameter as `U8 *`
lets us get rid of those casts.
(It does require some extra casts in callers that used to pass in a
`char *`, but it also saves casts in callers that used to declare a
`U8 *`, cast it to `char *` to pass it to utf8_to_bytes(), which would
then cast back to `U8 *`. Anyway, the net number of redundant casts is
lower now.)
