After latest comments we discussed it again and reached the following
conclusion: these files or directories will be ignored.

If a filesystem event with a non-utf8 name is received, the following
actions will be taken:

- Send a dbus signal to alert that it is being ignored with the
following info:

      - dirpath (unicode): the directory where the file or dir is located
      - ignored_path (bytes): the ignored file or dir name

- Log this ignore in a specific log file.

- Stop further event processing for this file/dir.

This will allow us to behave better for Lucid, and revisit later this
decision when more variables were set.
