Return 400 Bad Request for URL paths with invalid encoding.

Passing path parameters with invalid encoding is likely to trigger errors
further on like `ArgumentError (invalid byte sequence in UTF-8)`. This will
result in a 500 error whereas the better error to return is a 400 error which
allows exception notification libraries to filter it out if they wish.

Closes #4450
