This changelist is an intermediate submission for migrating the P4
support from Python 2 to Python 3. The code needs access to the
encodeWithUTF8() for support of non-UTF8 filenames in the clone class as
well as the sync class.
Move the function encodeWithUTF8() from the P4Sync class to a
stand-alone function. This will allow other classes to use this
function without instanciating the P4Sync class.
Makes quite a lot of sense, as I do not see a reason why this needs
to be attached to any specific instance of P4Sync.
