Util

LLDB requires Python strings in many places where it makes sense to accept bytes values. This is mostly an artifact of how Swig maps C char* to str in Python, but since Swig will refuse bytes objects, we have to figure out a way to pass this data as a regular string object, even if that's nonsensical in Python terms.

This function tries its best to resolve that by decoding it with the same decoder the filesystem uses, and, failing that, ASCII.
