raw_query turns params into unicode, but urllib in python 2.x doesn't actually handle it

[GoogleCodeExporter]

raw_query() turns all it's parameters into unicode objects, and then calls 
urllib.urlencode(), which can't really handle unicode in python 2.x, so it 
just turns non-ascii into ?'s. This makes it impossible to hand non-ascii to 
solr queries. If you encode to utf-8 before passing it to raw_query, the 
unicode() constructor throws an exception.

query() doesn't do this to its extra parameters, so to me it seems that 
raw_query shouldn't either. Patch attached.
