encoding/asn1: incorrectly handles incorrect utf8 strings #11126

Description

@dvyukov

The following program crashes with "Marshal: asn1: string not valid UTF-8" panic:

package main

import "encoding/asn1"

func main() {
    data := []byte("0\x05\f\x03a\xc9c")
    v := X{}
    _, err := asn1.Unmarshal(data, &v)
    if err != nil {
        panic("Unmarshal: " + err.Error())
    }
    _, err = asn1.Marshal(v)
    if err != nil {
        panic("Marshal: " + err.Error())
    }
}

type X struct {
    S string //`asn1:"utf8"`
}

The string must either be not decoded successfully or encoded successfully.

If the utf8 tag is uncommented, then program finishes successfully. This also looks wrong as the string is not valid utf8.
