[PATCH v2 1/2] commit: reject invalid UTF-8 codepoints

["brian m. carlson" <sandals@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The commit code already contains code for validating UTF-8, but it does not
check for invalid values, such as guaranteed non-characters and surrogates.  Fix
this by explicitly checking for and rejecting such characters.
