test(files): add test to ensure meaningful error is thrown in cat()

To verify changes discussed in https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-api/issues/799#issuecomment-402086401, this commit
adds a test that checks `files.cat()` throws a meaningful error when a key or ipfs path with
unsupported encoding is given.
