[PATCH BlueZ v2] client: add input validation to main()

[PATCH BlueZ v2] client: add input validation to main()

[Roman Smirnov]

An error was found during fuzzing testing. When passing Unicode
characters to bluetoothctl the application crashes in dbus:

dbus[5324]: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were
incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)"
failed in file .../dbus-message.c line 2765.

Check that all characters are written in utf8.

Fixes: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/1118
