[pve-devel] [PATCH manager] api: apt: Return valid utf8 on changelog

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

This was displayed wrongly on the web UI and when calling

    pvesh get /nodes/localhost/apt/changelog

One potential example of such a package was bind9-dnsutils where the
character `ř` was rendered as `Å`.

Tested this with a few packages (apt, bind9-dnsutils, dpkg) which had
non-ASCII characters and it correctly output them with the pvesh command
above after applying.
