Auto merge of #31253 - ranma42:improve-unicode-iter-offset, r=brson

Improve computation of offset in `EscapeUnicode`

Unify the computation of `offset` and use `leading_zeros` instead of manually scanning the bits.
This PR removes some duplicated code and makes it a little simpler .
The computation of `offset` is also faster, but it is unlikely to have an impact on actual code.
