Lets return the parsed length in term_utf8_decode() instead of a buffer
pointer. Store the pointer in the passed argument.
This makes it adhere to the systemd coding-style, were we always avoid
returning pointers, but store them in output arguments. In this case, the
storage is not allocated, so it doesn't fit 100% to this idiom, but still
looks much nicer.

The term-parser is used to parse any input from TTY-clients. It reads CSI,
DCS, OSC and ST control sequences and normal escape sequences. It doesn't
do anything with the parsed data besides detecting the sequence and
returning it. The caller has to react to them.
The parser also comes with its own UTF-8 helpers. The reason for that is
that we don't want to assert() or hard-fail on parsing errors. Instead,
we treat any invalid UTF-8 sequences as ISO-8859-1. This allows pasting
invalid data into a terminal (which cannot be controlled through the TTY,
anyway) and we still deal with it in a proper manner.
This is _required_ for 8-bit and 7-bit DEC modes (including the g0-g3
mappings), so it's not just an ugly fallback because we can (it's still
horribly ugly but at least we have an excuse).
