Fix 500 on invalid utf-8 in request
If somebody sends us a request where the the body is invalid utf-8, we should
return a 400 rather than a 500. (json.loads throws a UnicodeError in this
situation)

We might as well catch all Exceptions here: it seems very unlikely that we
would get a request that *isn't caused by invalid json.
