Title:
  apport-unpack cannot load gitkraken crash report - 'ascii' codec can't
  decode byte 0xfc in position 56

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Kinetic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Impact
  ======

  apport-unpack and whoopsie-upload-all can crash when fed with a
  malformed problem report. They should print a proper error message
  instead of crashing. This bug does not happen that often, but the fix
  for this bug is the foundation for the fix for bug #1995100.

  Test Plan
  =========

  1. Create malformed report:
  ```
  printf 'AB\xfc:CD\n' > malformed.crash
  ```
  2. Try to unpack it:
  ```
  apport-unpack malformed.crash unpack
  ```

  It should print an error message instead of a stack trace.

  Where problems could occur
  ==========================

  The patch touches the problem report handling and therefore can affect
  apport-unpack, apport-bug, whoopsie-upload-all. The change is covered
  with tests and apport has a test suite running during build and as
  autopkgtest.

  Original report
  ===============

  The latest GitKraken client (8.10.2 x64) is crashed every minute in
  cycle when you doing a rebase. When I try to inspect crash log to find
  the reason, the apport-unpack is not be able to process it:

  /var/lib/apport/coredump$ sudo apport-unpack 
core._snap_gitkraken_199_usr_share_gitkraken_gitkraken.1000.5de91c04-23ab-45c8-933c-0466d56e9fad.135785.50225891

  Unfortunately, crash file is too big (~9GB) and does not compress
  further
