So far we would append "…" or "..." when the string was wider than the specified output width. But let's add a mode where the caller knows that the string being passed is already truncated. The condition for jumping back in utf8_escape_non_printable_full() was off-by-one. But we only jumped to that label after doing a check with a stronger condition, so I think it didn't matter. Now it matters because we'd output the forced ellipsis one column too early.
