Apple encodes syslog entries using a 7-bit encoding where input UTF-8 bytes
are encoded as follows:
1. 0x00 to 0x19: non-printing range. Some ignored, some encoded as <...>.
2. 0x20 to 0x7f: as-is, with the exception of 0x5c (backslash).
3. 0x5c (backslash): octal representation \134.
4. 0x80 to 0x9f: \M^x (using control-character notation for range 0x00 to 0x40).
5. 0xa0: octal representation \240.
6. 0xa1 to 0xf7: \M-x (where x is the input byte stripped of its high-order bit).
7. 0xf8 to 0xff: unused in 4-byte UTF-8.

As there doesn't appear to be a system tool to decode these strings, we
implement here in Dart. If we're unable to decode a string (e.g.
decoding results in an invalid UTF-8 string), we fall back to emitting
the log line as-is.
