Log Message:
tests/bin/expr - fix the regex & length tests for UTF-8 input

If LC_CTYPE is to be set to a UTF-8 charset, the input must be
valid UTF-8 encoded data, or the results will not be what is expected.

0xFF as input is *not* ever valid in a UTF-8 string.   It cannot be
the initial byte of a character (the biggest conceivable value for
that is 0xFC and even that is beyond what current UTF-8 allows, the
actual biggest is 0xF4), and it cannot be a trailing byte, as those
always have 1 0 as the two higest bits (ie: range is 0x80..0xBF)
