Title:
  libvirt: boot instance with utf-8 name results in UnicodeDecodeError

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) juno series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  With the libvirt driver and Juno 2014.2 code, try to boot a server via
  Horizon with name "ＡＢＣ一丁七ÇàâｱｲｳДфэبتثअइउ€¥噂ソ十豹竹敷" results in:

  http://paste.openstack.org/show/128060/

  This is new in Juno but was a latent issue since Icehouse, the Juno
  change was:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/60c90f73261efb8c73ecc02152307c81265cab13

  The err variable is an i18n Message object and when we try to put the
  domain.XMLDesc(0) into the unicode _LE message object string it blows
  up in oslo.i18n because the encoding doesn't match.

  The fix is to wrap domain.XMLDesc(0) in
  oslo.utils.encodeutils.safe_decode.
