New description:

 In #18938, we discovered some relays publishing platform lines or
 extrainfo documents with non-ASCII characters.

 This seems to occur due to memory corruption.

 So let's make sure that a ~~non-ASCII~~ UTF-8 check is done on:
 * hidden services: unencrypted or encrypted descriptor
 * HSDirs: encrypted descriptor
 * clients: unencrypted or encrypted descriptor

 See
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/285-utf-8.txt#n45

 ~~This might require a spec change - it's likely implicit in the spec
 already.~~

 ~~For completeness, the set of printable ASCII characters is defined in
 dir-spec.txt ... Where I assume "printing ASCII" means "space to tilde",
 but we should also clarify that in the torspec.~~
