Fixed incorrect length handling in ngx_utf8_length().

Previously, ngx_utf8_decode() was called from ngx_utf8_length() with
incorrect length, potentially resulting in out-of-bounds read when
handling invalid UTF-8 strings.

In practice out-of-bounds reads are not possible though, as autoindex, the
only user of ngx_utf8_length(), provides null-terminated strings, and
ngx_utf8_decode() anyway returns an errors when it sees a null in the
middle of an UTF-8 sequence.
