I changed "Character" to "Codepoint" in some LazUTF8 function names in
r56692. Please take a look.
"Codepoint" is more accurate and hopefully reduces confusion.
It was discussed in forum and I agree with the importance of using
correct terms.

With Unicode the term "Character" is very ambiguous.

Existing code that uses those functions now throws "deprecated" warnings.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Juha
