Show helpful messages on invalid param. encodings

Prior to this change, given a route:

    # config/routes.rb
    get ':a' => "foo#bar"

If one pointed to http://example.com/%BE (param `a` has invalid encoding),
a `BadRequest` would be raised with the following non-informative message:

    ActionController::BadRequest

From now on the message displayed is:

    Invalid parameter encoding: hi => "\xBE"

Fixes #21923.
