require usernames and passwords to be UTF-8 encoded

- Learn to support UTF-8 characters where it was not supported for usernames and
  passwords (but for netrc).
- Fix the types in the code for both py2 and py3: we now expect unicode for
  usernames and passwords.

Unicode (UTF-8) is required only for variables with non-ASCII characters.
