Stop complaining about unescaped UTF-8 #20

The whole point of a global CDN like jsdelivr is that it allows anyone around the world to load content quickly and conveneintly. This feature will attract projects from all around the world. Some of those projects might come with translations in multiple languages. Others might be designed to cater to users in some locales but not others. Both of these involve putting non-English strings in source files. And yet the bot complains about it.

Should we try to please the bot by replacing all of our non-English strings with backslash-escaped hex codes? Those things are impossible for humans to read.

UTF-8 is the de facto standard of internationalization on the web. Anything encoded in valid UTF-8 should be kosher.
