The OS of some VM used by acceptance tests sends messages in UTF-8 encoding.
The socket used to communicate between the VM and the host by the AVOCADO framework uses the default host encoding. This is not generally a problem since most distributions default to UTF. However, if for some reason the host is using a plain ASCII encoding, the VM test will fail with an error. This patch explicitly sets the encoding to be UTF-8.
