Public bug reported:

When you query the ec2 api, and it returns non-ascii data from the
database, It throws something like this

2014-04-11 10:05:19.874 ERROR nova.api.ec2 [req-bc73aa28-0faa-437c-
8fb1-e61188658c03 user project] Unexpected error raised: 'ascii' codec
can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Tha cause seems to be the str() calls when calling xml.createTextNode in
the /api/ec2/apirequest.py file.

This should porbably be made safe for non-ascii characters.
