Return error tuple on unicode normalization functions
Prior to this patch, the normalization functions in the unicode module would raise a function clause error for non-utf8 binaries. This patch changes it so it returns {error, SoFar, Invalid} as characters_to_binary and characters_to_list does in the unicode module. Note string:next_codepoint/1 and string:next_grapheme had to be changed accordingly and also return an error tuple.
