Handle UnicodeDecodeError before accessing errno.

At src/system/keepalived-fifo.py:164, message.decode() can raise UnicodeDecodeError. The broad handler then accesses err.errno, which raises AttributeError because UnicodeDecodeError has no errno attribute. This terminates pipe_wait and leaves later notifications unread.

Catch UnicodeDecodeError separately and limit the errno check to OSError.

In `@src/system/keepalived-fifo.py` at line 164, Update the pipe_wait
message-decoding flow around message.decode() to catch UnicodeDecodeError
separately, then restrict errno-based handling to OSError exceptions so decode
failures do not access a missing errno attribute and terminate notification
processing.
