Summary: UTF-8 / system / filesystem encoding bugs

Initial Comment:
There are cases where non UTF-8 strings are being passed to GTK widgets within gschem. This makes them unhappy, as they are UTF-8 only. Such characters may come from filenames in a system encoding which is not UTF-8.

Additionally, _() translated messages are being printed to stderr / stdout, wihthout any regard for converting to the system encoding.

This results in garbled console output where the console / system locale isn't UTF-8.
