Require PGP-decrypted text to pass encoding validation.
pgp_sym_decrypt() and pgp_pub_decrypt() will raise such errors, while
bytea variants will not. The existing "dat3" test decrypted to non-UTF8
text, so switch that query to bytea.
The long-term intent is for type "text" to always be valid in the
database encoding. pgcrypto has long been known as a source of
exceptions to that intent, but a report about exploiting invalid values
of type "text" brought this module to the forefront. This particular
exception is straightforward to fix, with reasonable effect on user
queries. Back-patch to v14 (all supported versions).
