; Summary: Can't display a test with a field containing non-7-bit-ascii on server

= Description =
Take a look at:

http://fuegotest.org/server/Benchmark.iperf3

The test package Benchmark.iperf3-0.1-1.2.1.ftp, which is on the server
as of this writing, has the ß character in the author section, which tbwiki,
and in particular ProcessorFuegoShow.py don't handle correctly.

I get the traceback:
{{{
Exception raised by tbwiki software
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/server.cgi", line 55, in 
    main(req)
  File "/home/ubuntu/work/tbwiki/cgi-bin/tbwiki_engine.py", line 2423, in main
    print html
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdf' in position 203: ordinal not in range(128)
}}}
This is a python 2.7 issue using the 'str()' function (implicitly in the 
string formatting in presenting the fields), to format data for output
by tbwiki.

I tried the following:
 * value = unicode(value)
and
 * value = value.encode('utf-8','ignore').decode('utf-8')

in ProcessorFuegoShow.py::main(), but they didn't work.
 
= Notes =
I don't think tbwiki handles weird characters at all on pages.
This can be seen because it mangled the character, on this issue page.
