MOHAWK: LB - French sheila version not starting

Description

The French version of "Sheila Rae the Brave" is not starting due to an error in the INI file format of SRAEF.LB: One line just contains several 0x7f characters.

Due to that ScummVM crashes with the following messages:

Running Sheila Rae, the Brave (Windows/French)
SRAEF.LB: 96b00fc4b44c0e881c674d4bae5aa79a, 6121 bytes.

It would be nice to get it fixed before the 2.8.0 release.

We need to make our INI parser more robust, by adding a flag to ignore garbage like this.

There are two bugs in this ticket:

  1. Script parsing called error
  2. error segfaulted instead of displaying the debugger with the error message

I fixed the second one: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/02682424609b74ab286fd8ce4aac0bb81f512e4d
