Subject: [guile-email] more decoding errors

Hey,

So I've found another case of tricky decodings. I've been looking at the
first email in this mbox file [1]. The From header is:

  From: =?UTF-8?Q?Ludovic_Court=E8s?= <ludo@gnu.org>

1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/guix-commits/2016-01

This seems to trip up guile-email within the decode-mime-encoded-word
function, the bytevector returned by q-encoding-decode doesn't work with
bytevector->string.

I'm still not exactly sure why, some experimenting shows that the
following decodes to what I guess is the intended text:

  Ludovic_Court=C3=A8s

Similarly to the recent changes, specifying 'substitute as the third
argument to bytevector->string at least avoids crashing in this case.

Any thoughts?

Chris
