Don't know if this is related to bug number 491869, since i cannot
reproduce that bug

Trying to include a file with non ascii contents or filename in a bug
report raises an uncaught exception:

some strange chars here:
¼ € ¢ æ

$ reportbug -i test¼ reportbug
Detected character set: UTF-8
Please change your locale if this is incorrect.

Using the gui interface, choosing "Include a text file" option and
selecting the same file, raises

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

Attached is a patch that should fix both problems.
