Re: Change of contract in UT_URL_ENCODING.unescaped_utf8

The contract for the routine is correct (the preconditions do not
exclude a string which includes escapes represnting a non-valid UTF-8
byte sequence,
such as Latin-1 bytes, or just pure garbage).

There is a test that unescape_string returns no byte greater than 255
- I think this is redundant (but it would need a postcondition on
unescape_string to make it secure),
but this is not relevant to the issue in hand.

So the clients need changing to accept the possibility of a Void
result. I'll look into this on Wednesday (or possibly Tuesday if I
have more time than expected).
