[pve-devel] [PATCH installer] country.pl: load iso 3166 country codes file as UTF8

[Christoph Heiss]

This file is UTF-8 encoded and contains Unicode characters for encoding
country names, such as "Åland Islands" for example.

Otherwise, the final locale-info.json that gets shipped with the ISO
might contain wrongly-encoded country names, causing display errors in
(at least) the GTK installer country dropdown.
