[Libguestfs] [PATCH v2 2/2] inspector: rpm summary and description may not be utf-8

The application inspection code assumes the data in the RPM database
are encoded in UTF-8. However this is not always the case.

As a basic workaround, try to parse the string to UTF-8 and if that
fails, try converting it from latin-1.
