utf8.c: speculatively assume utf-8 in strbuf_add_wrapped_text()

is_utf8() works by calling utf8_width() for each character at the
supplied location.  In strbuf_add_wrapped_text(), we do that anyway
while wrapping the lines.  So instead of checking the encoding
beforehand, optimistically assume that it's utf-8 and wrap along
until an invalid character is hit, and when that happens start over.

This pays off if the text consists only of valid utf-8 characters.
The following command was run against the Linux kernel repo with
git 1.7.0:

	$ time git log --format='%b' v2.6.32 >/dev/null

	real	0m2.679s
	user	0m2.580s
	sys	0m0.100s

	$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null

	real	0m4.342s
	user	0m4.230s
	sys	0m0.110s

And with this patch series:

	$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null

	real	0m3.741s
	user	0m3.630s
	sys	0m0.110s

So the cost of wrapping is reduced to 70% in this case.
