Fix mb2wchar functions on short input.
Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org>
Fix mb2wchar functions on short input. When converting multibyte to pg_wchar, the UTF-8 implementation would silently ignore an incomplete final character, while the other implementations would cast a single byte to pg_wchar, and then repeat for the remaining byte sequence. While it didn't overrun the buffer, it was surely garbage output. Make all encodings behave like the UTF-8 implementation. A later change for master only will convert this to an error, but we choose not to back-patch that behavior change on the off-chance that someone is relying on the existing UTF-8 behavior.
