Bug 9579: fix truncation of facets containing multi-byte characters
We seem to be relying on whatever Zoom::Results->render return, and
Perl doesn't explicitly consider it UNICODE data. That's why CORE::substr
(and probably CORE::length too) cut the bytes wrong.
This patch just decodes the UTF-8 data that render() returns and then
Perl behaves, heh.
It uses Encode::decode_utf8 which is already a dependency for the current
stable Koha releases.
REVISED TEST PLAN
-----------------
1) Import the attached sample records.
2) Rebuild your indexes
3) In OPAC search for يكيمكتبات : قبسي ، كرم
-- There will be ugly diamonds with question marks in the facets
4) apply the patch
5) Search again.
-- The names will be properly truncated.
NOTE: This test assumes FacetLabelTruncationLength = 20.

Passes all tests and QA script.
Works as described, tested with several German, English and
the Arabic test record. Arabic strings now display correctly
and no regression was found.

I've reviewed it and approve its inclusion in 3.14.x and earlier. I
will use the patches for bug 11096, once they pass QA, for the master
branch.
