[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] old user preferences containing "%" break PUT on /api/0.6/user/preferences (Issue #4467)

[mmd]

Also, the issue in #4001 is a completely different one. There's a missing "force string to be treated as UTF-8" in the character validation rules.


```
Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible encoding regexp match (UTF-8 regexp with ASCII-8BIT string)

API threw unexpected Encoding::CompatibilityError exception: incompatible encoding regexp match (UTF-8 regexp with ASCII-8BIT string)
openstreetmap-website/app/validators/characters_validator.rb:6:in `match?'
openstreetmap-website/app/validators/characters_validator.rb:6:in `validate_each'

```
