Known Bots v6.0.3 Free

• This update contains an important bugfix to handle malformed UTF-8 in user agent strings.
• This update will simply ignore any user agents with malformed UTF-8, avoiding errors when trying to send updates via the API. These user agents are invalid and so there is no point undertaking any further analysis - thus they are silently discarded.
• This new version also contains an additional CLI tool for importing user agents from a text file, for testing purposes.
