src: fix out-of-bounds write in TwoByteValue

Plan 2 bytes instead of 1 byte for the final zero terminator
for UTF-16. This is unlikely to cause real-world problems,
but that ultimately depends on the `malloc` implementation.

The issue can be uncovered by running e.g.
`valgrind node -e "Buffer(65536).fill('a'.repeat(4096), 'utf16le')"`
