There are a few places we use force_str and I suspect we may want to swap all of them out with this new function. Perhaps we should create a sanitize.py file and put this in there with a doc string explaining the interface and what it does. Then use that everywhere we've been using force_str. I'd consider keeping the name as force_str too, but that's just my preference. We'd want to have an explicit test covering the functionality of this new function too.
There are some other sanitizing functions in utils.py that can be moved over too, though that should be a separate commit. Or I can do that.

Thank you @jmgutu for putting this together quickly. I think there are a few changes we should make to improve the toolbar as a whole and to make the developer experience a bit better. Please let me know if you think differently.

Description
The force serialize function in [django-debug-toolbar/debug_toolbar/panels/settings.py] was throwing errors for values that are not serializable. The proposed solution returns the serialized value if the value is serializable or returns 'Debug toolbar was unable to parse value'
Fixes #2172
