Trac ticket: Core-31992

Reported in WordPress/phpunit-test-runner#310

When serializing test output into XML, invalid UTF-8 bytes lead to a failure to load those test results when they are read. This patch adds code to remap those invalid bytes in an ASCII-readable form, whereas the invalid bytes are separated by parentheses and encoded in their hex form.

This ensures that a proper XML file is generated from the testing results.
