    scripts/check-obsolete-constructs.py: Process all headers as UTF-8.
    
    A few of our installed headers contain UTF-8 in comments.
    check-obsolete-constructs opened files without explicitly specifying
    their encoding, so it would barf on these headers if “make check” was
    run in a non-UTF-8 locale.
    
            * scripts/check-obsolete-constructs.py (HeaderChecker.check):
            Specify encoding="utf-8" when opening headers to check.
