fail UTF-8 encoding for friendslist causes problems on windows/ntfs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use a name with uft-8 chars in it
2. add friends in lobby then quit
3. log in again and see if your friends are still there

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
friends should still be marked as such, but they are not. the friendslist file 
wasn't created. but it should be and the friends should be hilighted

reported by player winxp, ntfs

This is related to the bug on team name fail in Windows, I think.
Similar issue of failos + filename characters.

Same solution, presumably, work around faildows by adding character escaping to 
the filename prior to saving, and modifying delete/edit to reference.
With some escaping, at least you get a semi-readable filename.

I think that's a bit tidier than amalgamating them into one file which makes it 
harder to keep track of the teams.
