Fixes #90617
While I couldn't directly recreate the situation in the issue, knowing that the problem was a
UnicodeDecodeError
made solving it mercifully straightforward. Instead of the direct approach via my text-based method, this adopts a process closer to what's used in SCons natively: parsing as bytes initially & decoding after the fact with the error handler "replace"1. This would've been quite bulky if it remained a one-liner, so the logic has been spread out; consequently, performance should be improved by gathering a file's content exactly once & performing a decode only if it's guaranteed to be an error.Footnotes
