Increase VtInputThread buffer size (#16470)

This makes 3 improvements:
* 16x larger input buffer size improves behavior when pasting
  clipboard contents while the win32-input-mode is enabled,
  as each input character is roughly 15-20x longer after encoding.
* Translate UTF8 to UTF16 outside of the console lock.
* Preserve the UTF16 buffer between reads for less mallocs.
