Description
I frequently get errors like UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf7 in position 14: invalid start byte.
BS4 has the option to ignore errors. Can we pass that option down from Markdownify?

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating where Markdownify invokes BS4 and how input encoding errors are handled; then check the relevant parsing tests or add coverage for malformed UTF-8. Done means the requested BS4 error-handling option can be passed through and the reported input no longer raises this decode error.
