Fix encoding length for EUC_CN.

While EUC_CN supports only 1- and 2-byte sequences (CS0, CS1), the
mb<->wchar conversion functions allow 3-byte sequences beginning SS2,
SS3.

Change pg_encoding_max_length() to return 3, not 2, to close a
hypothesized buffer overrun if a corrupted string is converted to wchar
and back again in a newly allocated buffer.  We might reconsider that in
master (ie harmonizing in a different direction), but this change seems
better for the back-branches.

Also change pg_euccn_mblen() to report SS2 and SS3 characters as having
length 3 (following the example of EUC_KR).  Even though such characters
would not pass verification, it's remotely possible that invalid bytes
could be used to compute a buffer size for use in wchar conversion.
