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.
