#449: MythMusic can mangle extended characters

 My music collection includes works by Frédéric Chopin as well as the
 musical Les Misérables.  The file names include the accented e
 (é).  When I tried to play these works, I got "Unable to open file.
 Error 5".

 Investigating found that the filenames had been mangled in MySQL.  Fixing
 the database entries did not make it work.  Thus, there are really two
 problems: filenames can be mangled before going into the database and
 filenames are mangled upon query.

 To fix this, I changed all of the filename conversions to use ASCII
 instead of Unicode.  This fixed my problem, but I have not extensively
 tested it to determine whether it causes other problems.  Will attach
 patch.
