Subject: [PATCH v15 1/2] Rewrite pg_utf8_verifystr() for speed

Use control flow written from scratch, instead of calling out to
pg_utf8_verifychar() and pg_utf8_isvalid(). Also include a fastpath
to check ASCII eight bytes at a time.

Depending on platform, verifying UTF-8 text containing three-byte
codepoints is 2-3 times faster, and verifying ASCII is now 2.5 to
5 times faster.
