[PASSED QA] Bug 9579: Facets truncation broken for 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.
