When fast-export encounters a commit with an 'encoding' header, it tries
to reencode in UTF-8 and then drops the encoding header. However, if it
fails to reencode in UTF-8 because e.g. one of the characters in the
commit message was invalid in the old encoding, then we need to retain
the original encoding or otherwise we lose information needed to
understand all the other (valid) characters in the original commit
message.

This test used an author with non-ascii characters in the name, but no
special commit message. It then grep'ed for those non-ascii characters,
but those are guaranteed to exist regardless of the reencoding process
since the reencoding only affects the commit message, not the author or
committer names. As such, the test would work even if the re-encoding
process simply stripped the commit message entirely. Modify the test to
actually check that the reencoding into UTF-8 worked.
