/* Decodes UTF-8 byte-by-byte. The c argument must be initialized to 0
 * to begin decoding; when finished it will contain the Unicode scalar
 * value decoded. Return value is 1 if finished, 0 if in-progress, and
 * -1 if an invalid sequence was encountered. After an invalid sequence,
 * the state (in c) automatically resets to 0 if a continuation byte was
 * expected to facilitate a calling idiom of immediately retrying a
 * failed decode call after processing the invalid sequence. If the
 * second try fails, the byte is invalid as a starter as well.
 *
 * A trivial usage idiom is:
 *       while (src<end && (n=decode(dst, *src))>=0) 1[dst+=n]=0, src++;
