systemd-python: catch only ValueErrors in conversion code
First of all, 'try: ... except: ...' (with no exception specified) is always a no-no, since it catches all BaseExceptions, which includes ^C and other stuff which should almost never be caught. Now the conversion is stricter, and only one conversion is attempted, and only a ValueEror is caught. It seems reasonable to catch ValueErrors, since the entries in the journal are not verified, and any erroneous application might log a field which cannot be converted. The consumer of events must only check if a field is an instance of bytes and can otherwise assume that the conversion was performed correctly. Order of arguments in Reader.__init__ has been changed to match order in _Reader.__init__. Conversions have been updated to work under Python 2 and 3.
