I agree that the function whose purpose is to compute display width should
not be called utf8_width().

The outside caller of utf8_width() in diff.c uses it to truncate the
function name hint on the hunk header line at character boundary.  The
input shouldn't have color escapes _we_ add (it might contain such
sequences from the user data, though), so I agree that we shouldn't
contaminate this function with color escapes.

Surely, and thanks.  The patch looks good.
