util/truncate: support []byte as well (#11614)
There are no mutations to the input,
so we can support both ~string and ~[]byte just fine.

Updates #cleanup

// Package truncate provides a utility function for safely truncating UTF-8
// strings to a fixed length, respecting multi-byte codepoints.
package truncate
// String returns a prefix of a UTF-8 string s, having length no greater than n
// bytes. If s exceeds this length, it is truncated at a point ≤ n so that the
// result does not end in a partial UTF-8 encoding. If s is less than or equal
// to this length, it is returned unmodified.

// Back up until we find the beginning of a UTF-8 encoding.
for n > 0 && s[n-1]&0xc0 == 0x80 { // 0x10... is a continuation byte
n--
}
// If we're at the beginning of a multi-byte encoding, back up one more to
// skip it. It's possible the value was already complete, but it's simpler
// if we only have to check in one direction.
//
// Otherwise, we have a single-byte code (0x00... or 0x01...).
if n > 0 && s[n-1]&0xc0 == 0xc0 { // 0x11... starts a multibyte encoding
