charsets: new helper to convert binary input data to UTF-8

Most of all the other APIs we have are expecting binary data (e.g.
UCS-2 encoded strings) in ASCII hex format, because they were going
to be used in text AT commands. For binary protocols allowing binary
data, we need use a more generic API that provides an explicit data
size.
