New description:

 Future Tor will not publish non-ASCII descriptors and dir auths will
 reject them at some point.

 Since this is quite far in the future, what do you think about removing
 such strings in onionoo (before it reaches tor)?
 I'm not suggesting to ignore the entire descriptor in such a case but just
 replace such chars with "?" ?
 "??B`?" -> "??B`??"

 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/21E84B294794821E2898E8ED18402E45E4FC351E

 Note: I used "non-printable" (vs. non-ASCII) since onionoo data includes
 printable but non-ASCII chars.
