Inspect binary data bug

[kostya]

crystal eval 'p File.read("/home/kostya/1.png")'
Invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 string (InvalidByteSequenceError)

ruby -e 'p File.read("/home/kostya/1.png")'

in some places i just want to inspect data to debug it, but get this exception

Yes, I agree this is annoying. inspect should be resilient here. Or maybe String.new(...) should raise if it's not properly encoded in UTF-8. Related to #2130

#triage
Still an issue, the only part that has changed is a more informative error message:

Unexpected byte 0x89 at position 0, malformed UTF-8 (InvalidByteSequenceError)
