Yibo Cai (Arm Technology China) 6fadba56cc utils: optimize UTF-8 validation
UTF-8 string is now validated by boost::locale::conv::utf_to_utf, it
actually does string conversions which is more than necessary.  As
observed on Arm server, UTF-8 validation can become bottleneck under
heavy loads.

This patch introduces a brand new SIMD implementation supporting both
NEON and SSE, as well as a naive approach to handle short strings.
The naive approach is 3x faster than boost utf_to_utf, whilst SIMD
method outperforms naive approach 3x ~ 5x on Arm and x86. Details at
https://github.com/cyb70289/utf8/.

UTF-8 unit test is added to check various corner cases.
