Jordan Justen be264422c9 BaseTools/UniClassObject: Support UTF-8 string data in .uni files
This allows .uni input files to be encoded with UTF-8. Today, we only
support UTF-16 encoding.

The strings are still converted to UCS-2 data for use in EDK II
modules. (This is the only unicode character format supported by UEFI
and EDK II.)

Although UTF-8 would allow any UCS-4 character to be present in the
source file, we restrict the entire file to the UCS-2 range.
(Including comments.) This allows the files to be converted to UTF-16
if needed.

v2:
 * Drop .utf8 extension. Use .uni file for UTF-8 data (mdkinney)
 * Merge in 'BaseTools/UniClassObject: Verify string data is 16-bit'
   commit

v3:
 * Restrict the entire file's characters (including comments) to the
   UCS-2 range in addition to string data. (mdkinney)
