By already taking the `Vec<u8>` out of this error we leave users no choice to bubble up the error with typical `?` or `anyhow::Context::context()`, because `vec<u8>` does not implement `std::error::Error` (it's not an error after all). Instead of trying to outsmart the standard library and annoying the user, return the original `FromUtf8Error` *as it is*, leaving the caller to deal with it however they please (i.e. bubble it up, or call `into_bytes()` themselves if they wish to continue parsing it otherwise).
