util,readline: NFC-normalize strings before getStringWidth

The assumption here is that decomposed characters render like their composed character equivalents, and that working with the former comes with a risk of over-estimating string widths given that we compute them on a per-code-point basis. The regression test added here (한글 vs 한글) is an example of that happening.
