utils: fix one-byte overflow in uh_urldecode

The output buffer was filled up to blen bytes without writing a
trailing NUL, leaving every caller to either append one or rely on
a happenstance zero byte. The documented contract said "not
null-terminated" but every in-tree caller used the result as a C
string, making the missing NUL a latent bug.

Reserve one byte at the tail, write the NUL, and update the contract
in the comment. Reject blen <= 0 as overflow.

Adjust the -d option's caller to pass the actual buffer size
(strlen + 1) rather than strlen -- the buffer was always sized for
the NUL, only the blen argument was off-by-one. Without this the -d
handler would reject every plain-ASCII input as "invalid encoding"
after the contract change.

Also cast ctype arguments to unsigned char to avoid undefined
behavior on signed-char platforms.
