Draft: Don't DropInvalidChars when opening project XML

Eric Jiang requested to merge erjiang/kdenlive:do-not-drop-invalid-chars into master

Setting DropInvalidChars seems to drop all valid Unicode characters outside the BMP, such as U+1F861 (reported in BUG: 435768).

To test: try creating a title with the text "test🡡test" (Wide-Headed Upwards Light Barb Arrow). Confirm that the title appears correctly in the preview even after saving the file, restarting Kdenlive, and opening the file.

I would be curious to hear what risks we'd have by not setting DropInvalidChars. The current state of silently corrupting files is bad though.
