encoding/asn1: promote untyped strings to UTF8 as needed.

Previously, strings that didn't have an explicit ASN.1 string type
were taken to be ASN.1 PrintableStrings. This resulted in an error if
a unrepresentable charactor was included.

For compatibility reasons, I'm too afraid to switch the default string
type to UTF8String, but this patch causes untyped strings to become
UTF8Strings if they contain a charactor that's not valid in a
PrintableString.

Fixes #3791.
