[PATCH 1/1] tests/acceptance: set VM socket encoding to UTF-8

[Daniele Buono]

The OS of some VM used by acceptance tests sends messages in UTF-8
encoding.

The socket used to communicate between the VM and the host by the
AVOCADO framework uses the default host encoding. This is not generally
a problem since most distributions default to UTF. However, if for some
reason the host is using a plain ASCII encoding, the VM test will fail
with an error. This patch explicitly sets the encoding to be UTF-8.
