Decodes length bytes from a UTF-16 encoded buffer string and returns
the corresponding Unicode object.
errors (if non-NULL) defines the error handling. It defaults
to "strict".
If byteorder is non-NULL, the decoder starts decoding using the
given byte order:
*byteorder == -1: little endian
*byteorder == 0: native order
*byteorder == 1: big endian
In native mode, the first two bytes of the stream are checked for a
BOM mark. If found, the BOM mark is analysed, the byte order
adjusted and the BOM skipped. In the other modes, no BOM mark
interpretation is done. After completion, *byteorder is set to the
current byte order at the end of input data.
If byteorder is NULL, the codec starts in native order mode.
