Local fix

Problem summary

• Destination buffer size is calculated before putting converted
  char data.Even if destination buffer size is 0, MalformedInput
  error should be detected to report caller.
  

Problem conclusion

• Check unconverted source buffer before returning OVERFLOW.If
  first 2 bytes are converted to U+FFFE, return value is changed
  to malformedForLength(2).If first 2 bytes are high surrogate,
  check remaining buffer size. If unconverted source buffer size
  is less than 4 bytes, return value is changed to UNDERFLOW.If
  first 2 bytes are high surrogate, check next 2 bytes. If they
  are not low surrogate, return value is changed to
  malformedForLength(4).If first 2 bytes are low surrogate, return
  value is changed to malformedForLength(2).
