Subject: [PATCH] render invalid utf8 sequences as U+FFFD

previously drw_text would do the width calculations as if
invalid utf8 sequences were replaced with U+FFFD but would pass
the invalid utf8 sequence to xft to render where xft would just
cut it off at the first invalid byte.

this change makes invalid utf8 render as U+FFFD and avoids
sending invalid sequences to xft. the following can be used to
check the behavior before and after the patch:

	$ printf "0\xef1234567\ntest" | dmenu
