Fix remotely-triggerable crashes by validating strings in a few messages related to buddy list management. Fixes #14682 I changed the four functions that parse incoming authorization-related SNACs. The changes are: - Make sure we have a buddy name and it is valid UTF-8. If not, we drop the SNAC and log a debug message (we can't do much with an empty, invalid or incorrect buddy name). This wasn't a part of the bug report and I doubt it's actually a problem, but it seems like a good idea regardless. - If the incoming message is not valid UTF-8 then use purple_utf8_salvage() to replace invalid bytes with question marks. I believe this fixes the bug in question.
