[JENKINS-20897] Wrong encoding of characters (e.g. æøå) in commit messages, committers name, etc

Issues with encoding of Norwegian characters (e.g. æøå) in commit messages, committers name, etc. See screenshot from the search in Gerrit Trigger (browser set to UTF-8 encoding).

Terminal (with UTF-8 encoding) outputs the following:

$ ssh -p 29418 gerrit gerrit query status:open
