[issue9598] untabify.py fails on files that contain non-ascii characters

>From IRC:

Me: UTF-8 was not strictly valid in ANSI C comments, so it is a bug in untabify to assume UTF-8 in C files.

Merwok: Works for me.

I am lowering the priority because it looks like untabify does not fail on the current code base.  I'll follow up on python-dev to find out whether ASCII or UTF-8 should be enforced by untabify.
