Function std.encoding.sanitize
Sanitizes a string by replacing malformed code unit sequences with valid code unit sequences. The result is guaranteed to be valid for this encoding.
If the input string is already valid, this function returns the original,
otherwise it constructs a new string by replacing all illegal code unit
sequences with the encoding's replacement character, Invalid sequences will
be replaced with the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD) if the
character repertoire contains it, otherwise invalid sequences will be
replaced with '?'.
