[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: MAX_UTF8_PER_UTF16 = 3

A code point encoded by one UTF-16 symbol is converted to a
maximum of three UTF-8 symbols.

0xffff could be encoded as 0xef 0xbf 0xbf.
The first byte carries four bits, the second and third byte
carry six bits each.

A code point encoded by two UTF-16 symbols is converted to four
UTF-8 symbols.

Fixes: 78178bb0c9d lib: add some utf16 handling helpers

The code is only used by efi_loader.
So this patch should go via efi-next.
