gnr_resolve breaks when there is multibyte characters

[zachary-foster]

For example:

library(taxize)
gnr_resolve("Euphorbia \xd7 lomi")
#> Error in substring(x, 2): invalid multibyte string at '<d7> lomi'

^{Created on 2022-11-30 with reprex v2.0.2}

Can be identified before hand using validEnd. Would be nice to just delete those characters and proceed with a warning

You can encode the input to UTF-8 with enc2utf8().

> taxize::gnr_resolve(enc2utf8("Euphorbia \xd7 lomi"))
