Sometimes it's useful to determine how many 16-bit words it'll take to encode a unicode rune with UTF16. We already have utf8.RuneLen, and one for utf16 could be useful.

It would look something like this (those are private constants inside of utf16):

// RuneLen returns the number of 16-bit words required to encode the rune.
// It returns -1 if the rune is not a valid value to encode in UTF-16.
func RuneLen(r rune) int {
	switch {
	case 0 <= r && r < surr1, surr3 <= r && r < surrSelf:
		return 1
	case surrSelf <= r && r <= maxRune:
		return 2
	default:
		return -1
	}
}

@bouk any update? I'm interested in this proposal landing soon, if you are focused on other projects I can take over this implementation.
