CopyUTF8toUCS2() is absent from nsReadableUtils.h
CopyUCS2toUTF8() should be added as well.

Turns out that this is not needed now that we have Substring that has a
constructor that takes two iterators, as scc explained to me. Making INVALID.

In case anyone cares, the signature for one of thise copy functions would have been

  CopyXXXtoYYY( sourceStartIter, sourceEndIter, destString );

but this is no better than saying

  destString = Substring(sourceStartIter, sourceEndIter);

in fact ... it's worse in the current implementations of the |CopyXXXtoYYY|s
that do exist, since they don't check for dependencies as assignment does.  I've
filed bug #81433 to get rid of the existing iterator-based |CopyXXXtoYYY| string
functions (|CopyUnicodeTo| and |AppendUnicodeTo|).
