Adding Jsrt function JsCopyStringOneByte #3408

Merged

For scenarios where a string is known to have values fitting in
one byte, this method allows directly copying those values into a
char* buffer rather than having to copy to a uint16_t* buffer
and then to a char* buffer, and treating the string as raw bytes
rather than a valid utf8 encoding.

This will help reduce overhead in some common nodejs use cases.

Can you add some more details about the semantics of this API, specifically what happens if the codepoint being copied is not within the char range

Ah yes, that's great. Also clarify that UTF16 encoded codepoints are being truncated in this case. Actually, what happens in the case of a surrogate pair?
