Reject ill-formed UTF-8 in CBOR/UBJSON/BJData/BSON writers, accept it in MessagePack reader

to_cbor(), to_ubjson(), to_bjdata(), and to_bson() wrote a string or object
key with ill-formed UTF-8 byte for byte, but from_cbor()/from_ubjson()/
from_bjdata()/from_bson() reject such strings with parse_error.113 since
d19f7f5dc (#5185, not yet released): a value that serialized without error
could not be read back by the same library (#5651).

CBOR (RFC 8949 Section 5), UBJSON, BJData, and BSON all require text strings
and object keys/element names to be valid UTF-8, so their writers now
validate and throw type_error.316, like to_bon8() already does. For BSON,
the check runs in the size-computation pass, before any byte is written, the
same way the binary subtype check works. check_bon8_utf8() is renamed to
check_utf8() since it is now shared by all of these writers.

MessagePack's specification explicitly allows a str object to contain an
invalid byte sequence and expects a deserializer to hand the bytes back
unchanged, so its writer is unaffected and from_msgpack() (object keys
included) no longer validates UTF-8, restoring its pre-#5185 behavior.
dump() still rejects ill-formed UTF-8 with type_error.316 unless an error
handler is passed.

Docs: add the type_error.316 exception to to_cbor/to_ubjson/to_bjdata/to_bson,
document the writer-side check on the cbor/bson/ubjson/bjdata format pages,
and rewrite the MessagePack UTF-8 warning to describe the round-trip and
dump() behavior instead of a validation requirement the spec does not have.

Tests: add ill-formed value/key cases (invalid byte, truncated sequence,
encoded surrogate, overlong encoding) expecting type_error.316 to
unit-cbor.cpp, unit-ubjson.cpp, unit-bjdata.cpp, and unit-bson.cpp (which
also checks the output vector stays empty), and turn unit-msgpack.cpp's
former parse_error.113 ill-formed-UTF-8 tests into byte-for-byte round-trip
tests for both values and keys.
