Reject malformed UTF-16/UTF-32 units in wide-string input

The wide-string input adapter (used for std::u16string, std::u32string,
std::wstring, and iterators over 2- or 4-byte character types) passed
some malformed code units on to the lexer as values that are neither a
byte (0x00..0xFF) nor char_traits<char>::eof(). As a result:

- A lone UTF-16 surrogate inside true/false/null was accepted if its low
  byte matched the expected letter, or ended the input silently if it
  was the last unit.
- A high surrogate followed by a unit that is not its low surrogate
  swallowed that unit; if the swallowed unit was the newline ending a
  // comment, the comment silently extended over the next line.
- Where wint_t is a signed int (macOS, the BSDs), a negative wchar_t
  collided with char_traits<char>::eof() (ending the input early) or was
  truncated to its low byte, depending on its value.

The UTF-32 helper now converts the code unit to std::uint32_t before the
range checks, so a negative unit reaches the same "emit 0xFF" branch
already used for code points above U+10FFFF. The UTF-16 helper now
peeks at the next unit before consuming it, and emits 0xFF instead of
the raw surrogate when no valid pair is found, matching how ill-formed
UTF-8 bytes are rejected elsewhere in the lexer.

Fixes #5645.
