Untaint user input, that is: remove all non supported chars.
wanted is a regexp matching chars we shall leave. Everything else
will be removed. Eg:
untainted := Untaint(input, `[^a-zA-Z0-9\-]`)
Returns a new string and an error if the input string has been
modified. It's the callers choice to decide what to do about
it. You may ignore the error and use the untainted string or bail
out.
