- Return CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT if IDN hostname cannot be converted from
UTF-8 to UTF-16.
Prior to this change a failed conversion erroneously returned CURLE_OK
which meant 'decoded' pointer (what would normally point to the
punycode) would not be written to, remain NULL and be dereferenced
causing an access violation.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/11983
Some IDN sequences are converted into "" (nothing), which can make this
function end up with a zero length host name and we cannot consider that
a valid host to continue with.

- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
