Use Case

As a... Node Driver developer
I want... ByteUtils toUTF8/fromUTF8 method names to make sense
So that... the names are logical and don't confuse anyone

User Experience

• What is the desired/expected outcome for the user once this ticket is implemented?
• If bug: What is the number of impacted customers? How severe is the impact? Is anyone blocked or broken?

Context: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/pull/4840#discussion_r2720575339

I guess it's too late to change but this PR made me realize that the names toUTF8 and fromUTF8 are reversed semantically – fromUTF8 encodes a string into UTF-8 and toUTF8 decodes a string from UTF-8 😢

Dependencies

• upstream and/or downstream requirements and timelines to bear in mind

Risks/Unknowns

• What could go wrong while implementing this change? (e.g., performance, inadvertent behavioral changes in adjacent functionality, existing tech debt, etc)
• Is there an opportunity for better cross-driver alignment or testing in this area?
• Is there an opportunity to improve existing documentation on this subject?

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• functional reqs, potential snafus to avoid, performance targets, etc

Testing Requirements

• unit test, spec test sync, etc

Documentation Requirements

• DOCSP ticket, API docs, etc

Follow Up Requirements

• additional tickets to file, required releases, etc
• if node behavior differs/will differ from other drivers, confirm with dbx devs what standard to aim for and what plan, if any, exists to reconcile the diverging behavior moving forward
