systemd-python: catch only ValueErrors in conversion code

First of all, 'try: ... except: ...' (with no exception specified) is
always a no-no, since it catches all BaseExceptions, which includes ^C
and other stuff which should almost never be caught.

Now the conversion is stricter, and only one conversion is attempted,
and only a ValueEror is caught. It seems reasonable to catch ValueErrors,
since the entries in the journal are not verified, and any erroneous
application might log a field which cannot be converted. The consumer
of events must only check if a field is an instance of bytes and can
otherwise assume that the conversion was performed correctly.

Order of arguments in Reader.__init__ has been changed to match order
in _Reader.__init__.

Conversions have been updated to work under Python 2 and 3.
