Yes, yes, it probably made sense 30 years ago as a way to save a tiny
amount of memory, but especially when interspersed in structures that
have pointers (aligned to 64 bits these days), it's not even saving
memory today. And it makes us fail in nasty ways when looking at files
with long lines.
So just make them 'int'. And if you have a line that is longer than
2GB, you only have yourself to blame. I no longer care.
In case anybody care, the "test-case" for this was a lovely UDDF file
with a binary divecomputer dump encoded as an XML element. Resulting in
a lovely 41kB single line. Not what poor micro-emacs was designed for,
I'm afraid.
I really should just learn another editor, rather than continue to
polish this turd.

llength() is currently a 'short' which can overflow and result in signed
numbers if line lengths are larger than 32k. We'll fix the overflow
separately, but before we do that, just use a signed int to hold the
value so that we don't overrun memory allocations when we converted that
negative number to a large positive unsigned integer.

For some reason I had limited things to 0xffff, it really should be 0x10ffff.
We don't actually support a full 32-bit unicode model anyway, since we
use the high bits for the control/meta/^X/special bits, but there was no
reason to limit things to 16 bits when we had 28 bits available. And
the real limit for real Unicode characters is 0x10ffff.
Add a silly example character past the 16-bit range to the UTF8 demo
file:
'SMILING FACE WITH HALO' (U+1F607)
from the 'emoticons' block.
