Properly encode json string containing binary data

Properly encode json string containing binary data

The existing code assumes the strings are alreayd valid UTF8 and contain potential out-of-bound accesses.

Also urlEncode path in log lines, as it trips pytest.xml:

Running tests...

$ 'pytest' '--junitxml=pytest.xml' '-v'
==STDOUT===

==STDERRR===
  File "/home/otto/pdns/regression-tests.api/runtests.py", line 304, in <module>
    print(serverproc.stderr.read())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/codecs.py", line 322, in decode
    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xeb in position 4304: invalid continuation byte

There might be more places where this is needed.
