utf8: fix returning negative string width

The `utf8_strnwidth()` function calls `utf8_width()` in a loop and adds
its returned width to the end result. `utf8_width()` can return `-1`
though in case it reads a control character, which means that the
computed string width is going to be wrong. In the worst case where
there are more control characters than non-control characters, we may
even return a negative string width.

Fix this bug by treating control characters as having zero width.
