[issue3714] nntplib module broken by str to unicode conversion

Oh, you need to read the comments first:

- Use of ISO-8859-1 it's a bad idea here. See msg72776 for details.
Moreover RFC-3977 explicitly say about UTF-8, so I think we need to use
UTF-8.
- Maybe set_encoding() isn't needed but you need to have a possibility
to change encoding after object creation. Because different groups can
use different encodings. But with makefile() addition you just remove
this possibility.
