[PATCH] Allow py_smb_savefile() to except utf text

Hi,

This patch allows the smb python bindings to write utf encoded text to a
file. Without this patch, py_smb_savefile() can only write ascii.
Writing ascii to a utf-16 encoded file would leave trailing utf-16 chars
at the end of the file, and trying to pass utf-16 to the savefile
function would throw an exception.

Andrew and Garming,

This is related to the GPO patches. This is needed in order to write to
files in sysvol (since GptTmpl.inf, for example, is utf-16 encoded).
I've written a tool for modifying GPO policies. Please review.

Thanks!
