Description

On dev@ a user reported seeing UTF-8 characters in the output from 'svn log' and
'svnadmin dump'. He reports that he sees this in special cases, but upon
examination, I concluded that the problems may surface more generally.

From what the reports, I found two cases where messages are insufficiently
recoded to the users locale:

1) 'svn log' which uses svn_stream_printf statements directly on the result of
_() calls.

2) 'svnadmin dump' which passes a stdio-stream to libsvn_repos:dump; after that
all feedback is written directly to stdout / stderr in UTF-8 encoding.
