Wrong line length for headers that are neither pure ASCII nor UTF-8 encoded

[Virgile]

Ubuntu release: 12.10
package version: 1.03-22

The utf8_length patch for headache does not verify whether the header file is encoded in UTF8 before calling UTF8.length. In particular, if the header file uses another encoding (e.g. iso-latin-1) the result will be incorrect, resulting in a poorly formatted output.

 The patch below only calls UTF8.length on a properly UTF8-encoded string, and falls back to String.length otherwise.

It appears that my previous patch was always using String.length. This new one uses UTF8.length on valid UTF8 strings and String.length on others.
