xdg-screensaver: Sanitise window name before sending it over the bus
I first saw this on Launchpad:
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1743216">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1743216</a>
When the window title of the WID passed to suspend is invalid utf-8, we get a
crash like this:
dbus[19455]: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were incorrect,
assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in file
../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 2754.
Here's a patch to use Encode (in perl core since 5.8 apparently) to replace
such characters with U+FFFD.</pre>
