Non-ASCII characters not shown correctly on the console output

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When the test name contain non ascii characters, they are not displayed
correctly in the console. The generated html report is fine. Also the XML
output does not suffer from this problem:

C:\cc\robot>pybot UmlautTest.txt

We've recently fought with file system and console encodings (issue 454, issue 
446,
issue 509), and although the battle was hard we survived. With the knowledge we
gained fixing this issue ought to be relatively easy too.

Took a fast look at this and it really seems we can implement this pretty 
easily. I
actually already committed a fix in r2792 but I still need to look at this with 
Janne
(my comrade in the Unicode wars), test on Windows, and try to add a
platform/interpreter agnostic acceptance test.

The original implementation didn't work when there were characters that the 
console
couldn't show. That ought to be fixed in r2828. Tests are still missing...

Added tests in r2885. This still needs to be tested on Windows and I want to go
through the code with Janne.

Implementation gone through and slightly modified with Janne. Tested on Windows 
both
with Python 2.6 and Jython 2.5. Needed to update tests because the Windows 
console
supports a pretty limited set of characters and some of the chars shown 
correctly on
Ubuntu with UTF-8 aware console were shown as '?'. We simply cannot show chars 
the
console doesn't support so this is as done as it can be.
