Fix #892898 (UnicodeDecodeError crash with debconf-show output)

Nis Martensen requested to merge nma/reportbug:ude_crash into master

According to the bug report, it is possible that debconf-show returns output that contains encoding errors. To avoid crashing with UnicodeDecodeError in subprocess.getstatusoutput, switch to subprocess.run and backslash-escape the broken characters by specifying an errors argument when decoding.
