Description:
------------
json_encode encodes characters above U+1FFFF incorrectly; sometimes it incorrectly encodes them as characters in the U+10000-U+1FFFF range, and sometimes it just errors out.

Note this is not an error with the source not being UTF8; as you can see below, I am building the UTF8-encoded text byte-by-byte.

5.2.6 has the same problem, although instead of null it returns "aa" for those cases due to bug 43941.

It looks like there are actually two unrelated bugs here:
1. utf8_to_utf16 in ext/json/utf8_to_utf16.c should use "c -= 0x10000;" at line 49 instead of "c &= 0xFFFF;". This causes the part where it incorrectly encodes values over U+1FFFF as U+10000-U+1FFFF.
2. utf8_decode_next in ext/json/utf8_decode.c should use 0xF8 instead of 0xF1 at line 168. This causes the part where UTF8 characters beginning with an F1 or F3 byte error out.

Reproduce code:
---------------
for($i=1; $i<=16; $i++){
    print json_encode("aa".chr(0xf0|($i>>2)).chr(0x8f|($i&3)<<4)."\xbf\xbdzz")."\n";
}

Expected result:
----------------
"aa\ud83f\udffdzz"
"aa\ud87f\udffdzz"
"aa\ud8bf\udffdzz"
"aa\ud8ff\udffdzz"
"aa\ud93f\udffdzz"
"aa\ud97f\udffdzz"
"aa\ud9bf\udffdzz"
"aa\ud9ff\udffdzz"
"aa\uda3f\udffdzz"
"aa\uda7f\udffdzz"
"aa\udabf\udffdzz"
"aa\udaff\udffdzz"
"aa\udb3f\udffdzz"
"aa\udb7f\udffdzz"
"aa\udbbf\udffdzz"
"aa\udbff\udffdzz"


Actual result:
--------------
"aa\ud83f\udffdzz"
"aa\ud83f\udffdzz"
"aa\ud83f\udffdzz"
null
