Fix mb2wchar functions on short input.
When converting multibyte to pg_wchar, the UTF-8 implementation would
silently ignore an incomplete final character, while the other
implementations would cast a single byte to pg_wchar, and then repeat
for the remaining byte sequence. While it didn't overrun the buffer, it
was surely garbage output.
Make all encodings behave like the UTF-8 implementation. A later change
for master only will convert this to an error, but we choose not to
back-patch that behavior change on the off-chance that someone is
relying on the existing UTF-8 behavior.
