This allows it to properly handle unicode output from the process that is being run. I have been able to reproduce the failure by running lorax in a VM with a modified runtime-postinstall that calls a python program that outputs unicode, or with glib2-2.85.3-1.fc43 -- but I am unable to cause it to fail in the test suite. (cherry picked from commit 3a53278) Related: RHEL-121650
This allows unicode to be passed to the logfiles without raising an error. (cherry picked from commit 24d17f8) Related: RHEL-121650
This was never used in lorax, is always set to false, and now with encoding set to UTF8 for these functions it wouldn't be binary anyway. Also sets text=True in the _run_program call to startProgram, previously the old universal_newlines was set from the state of binary_output. (cherry picked from commit 42786c2) Related: RHEL-121650
We have no control over the data stream so if what we receive from the program (anaconda, or whatever) is broken the best we can do is ignore errors and not crash because of a decode error. Resolves: RHEL-121650
