  utf8_to_bytes: remove bad const from output argument

The 'const' was added in commit f7fe979eb250 (when the function was
still called uni_to_bytes()). This was an error because the function
writes through buf, but it went unnoticed because the (U8 *) casts in
the function body inadvertently cast away const, too.

May address the clang build warnings in #24165.
