multibyte backwarddeletechar

[Clint Adams <clint@xxxxxxx>]

I don't intend to commit this patch as-is.

This causes backward-delete-char to delete entire
multibyte characters (valid in the current locale)
rather than their component octets.

For consistency's sake, similar hacks would apply to

backward-char
backward-delete-char
delete-char
forward-char
transpose-chars
vi-find-next-char
vi-backward-char
vi-backward-delete-char
vi-forward-char

Should these be replacements or a set of new widgets?
