Drop wide/narrow conversion functions

The only valid usecase for these is interfacing with OS APIs
that want a locale/OS-specific multibyte encoding.
But they weren't used for that anywhere, instead UTF-8 is pretty
much assumed when it comes to that.
Since these are only a potential source of bugs and do not fulfil
their purpose at all, drop them entirely.
