grc: ensure that strings are valid utf8 when evaluating parameters
Some objects, notably PMTs can produce non-UTF-8 strings when
their __str__() method is called. For instance
>>> str(pmt.init_u8vector(1, [203]))
'#[\udccb]'
These kinds of strings eventually give a UnicodeEncodeError, for
instance when calling print() or displaying them with GTK. Python3
strings are supposed to be valid UTF-8.
When these objects are used inside block parameters in GRC, it will
produce several tracebacks and hang up. This commit fixes the problem
by sanitizing the strings to convert them to valid UTF-8. The sanitization
uses the 'backslashreplace' error response from Python.
Issue #3398 is caused by this problem.
