`FormatStringConverter::appendFormatText` incorrectly treated non-ASCII 
characters (e.g. UTF-8) as negative values when using signed chars. This caused 
them to pass the `< 32` check for control characters. 

The negative values were passed to `llvm::hexdigit`, resulting in an OOB access 
and a crash.

This closes [#169198](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/169198)
