[pbs-devel] [RFC PATCH proxmox-backup] api2/types ArchiveEntry: fall back to iso 8859-1 if not valid utf8

[Dominik Csapak]

In case a file name is not valid utf-8 we fall back to iso 8859-1. this works
neatly, since the byte sequence of visible (non-control) characters in iso
maps 1:1 to unicode codepoints which happens when we do 'u8 as char' in rust.

Theoretically the source could also be another iso variant (e.g. iso 8859-15),
but this is (at this point) impossible to detect because the bytes simply have
a different meaning.

If we want, we could somehow make this configurable (e.g. with a parameter),
but i'm not sure it is worth the effort
