Set default python encoding to utf-8

As spoted by Daniel Narvaez in [1], pygi does not set the default encoding
anymore as the old GTK+ did. This change does break activities ported
to GTK+3.

The change in GTK+ has been discussed upstream here [2].

A better solution will be implemented when we port to Python 3,
when we will be able to use real unicode strings.
