If the user enters non-ascii metadata in metadata.yaml in UTF8,
e.g.
name: Institute of Ąćçęńted Letterś in Półiśh and Freńćh
address: Żyźszczyń
but in the terminal has a non-UTF8 locale setting such as LANG=C
or LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, then yaml-to-latex.py will yield an
error and 'make' will fail.

If the user enters non-ascii metadata in metadata.yaml in UTF8, e.g. name: Institute of Ąćçęńted Letterś in Półiśh and Freńćh address: Żyźszczyń but in the terminal has a non-UTF8 locale setting such as LANG=C or LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, then yaml-to-latex.py will yield an error and 'make' will fail.
This commit sets the locale, within the python process, to en-US.UTF-8. It should fix Issue https://github.com/ReScience/template/issues/4
Further improvements could be to check whether the existing locale is UTF-8 and to warn the user if it is not.
