Froms not downloading with UTF-8 encoding to phones from Aggregate

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Create a form with accent characters or any other chars that would require 
UTF-8.

2. Upload the form to Aggregate

3. Get the form on a device. The accent chars appear as garbage. (question 
marks on a black background.)

Using v1.0_alpha6, but seems to have always existed. 

Have been able to verify that the form is arriving on the phone as ANSI only. 
Should be ANSI as UTF-8 for example.

Have also verified that the problem is in FormXmlServlet.java. Specifically, 
the calls setCharacterEncoding and setContentType are being called after 
getWriter. They must be before if they are to have any effect. 
See:http://download.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/api/javax/servlet/ServletResponse.html
 for both of these functions  obtaining a PrintWriter, both of these methods 
should be called first.

Have verified that when both calls are placed above the instantiation of "out" 
(the PrintWriter) that this issue disappears and the forms appear correctly.

Thank you for the bug report and documentation link.  It was extremely helpful.

Fixed several occurrences of these in the uiexperiment branch:

66ab877add245&name=uiexperiment&repo=aggregate

(this branch will become the production 1.0 branch after we work out a few 
kinks).
