Closes #416

Unreleased functions Diagnose() and DiagnoseFirst() added in v2.5.0-beta3 were ignoring the setting of DecOptions.UTF8 = DecodeInvalidUTF8 (to allow decoding invalid UTF-8) in the underlying decoder.

This PR is a NOP which simply removes the ignored code (instead of making it work) because:

  • Diagnostic functions rejecting invalid UTF-8 matches the default behavior of CBOR decoder.

  • It currently doesn't make sense to display invalid UTF-8 text. Diagnostic Notation described by RFC 8949 and the Extended Diagnostic Notation in Appendix G of RFC 8610 don't specify how to represent invalid UTF-8.

Unreleased functions Diagnose() and DiagnoseFirst() added in v2.5.0-beta3
were ignoring the setting of DecOptions.UTF8 = DecodeInvalidUTF8 in
the underlying decoder.

Given this, removing the ignored code is enough to make the new
diagnostic functions match the default behavior of CBOR decoder
which is to reject invalid UTF-8 in CBOR text strings.

For now, it doesn't make sense to print invalid UTF-8 text
because the Diagnostic Notation described by RFC 8949 and the
Extended Diagnostic Notation in Appendix G of RFC 8610 don't specify
how to represent invalid UTF-8.

@x448 can you take a look? This is probably the last coding change before tagging v2.5.0 and it doesn't require re-fuzzing the unaffected non-diagnostic codec functions.

Also need to update README before tagging v2.5.0.
