utf16s_to_utf8s does not NULL terminate the output string. For us to be able to add a NULL character when utf16s_to_utf8s returns, we need to make sure that there is space for such NULL character at the end of the output buffer. We can achieve this by passing an output buffer size to utf16s_to_utf8s that is one character less than what we allocated. Other call sites of utf16s_to_utf8s appear to be using the same technique where they artificially reduce the buffer size by one to leave space for a NULL character or line feed character.
