The package does not handle UTF-8 prompts properly #13

Description

Description

After I used λ as a prompt message, ocaml-linenoise displayed a cursor at a wierd position.
For example, when I typed abc (without a space), my terminal displays something like this.

λ abc _
     ^ Here is a weird space

What you expected

ocaml-linenoise handles λ (and any other UTF-8 encoded characters) in a proper way so that it places characters and the cursor at expected positions like the following.

λ abc_
     ^ This underscore is the cursor.
