[PATCH 1/2] moveconfig.py: add try…except

I keep getting a UnicodeDecodeError from one of the header files while
modifying the headers:

	 Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "tools/moveconfig.py", line 1953, in <module>
	    main()
	  File "tools/moveconfig.py", line 1927, in main
	    cleanup_headers(configs, options)
	  File "tools/moveconfig.py", line 675, in cleanup_headers
	    cleanup_one_header(header_path, patterns, options)
	  File "tools/moveconfig.py", line 599, in cleanup_one_header
	    lines = f.readlines()
	  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/codecs.py", line 321, in decode
	    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
	UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x83 in position 9: invalid start byte

I'm curious to know which header file is causing the problem.
