core: fix crashes if locale.conf contains invalid utf-8 string
In the parse_env_file_push() and load_env_file_push() functions, there are two assert() call to check if the key or value parameters are utf8 valid. If the strings aren't utf8 valid, assert does abort. These function are used early by systemd to parse some files. For example '/etc/locale.conf'. In my case this file contained a not utf8 sequence, which is bad, but systemd crashed during the boot, which is even worse! The enclosed patch removes the assert and return -EINVAL if the sequence is invalid. This is possible because the caller of these function [1] checks the errors. So the check of an invalid utf8 sequence is still performed, but systemd doesn't crash anymore and logs the error. [1] parse_env_file_internal(), invoked by load_env_file() and parse_env_file()
