Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I use ProtocolBuffer encoding, I'm frustrated by string value encoded in unreadable bytes.
For example, a Korean string "경동나비엔" is printed as "\352\262\275\353\217\231\353\202\230\353\271\204\354\227\224".
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like cbt to support UTF-8 string in read or lookup output.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I found that the unreadable byte sequence is from message.MarshalTextIndent()(link). If we use message.MarshalJSONIndent() instead, a UTF-8 string can be correctly printed like "경동나비엔". So it would be also good if cbt allows users to choose prototext or protojson as the output format. Then prototext will still output bytes in octal, but I can choose protojson to see UTF-string.
