Fix some string encoding issues with entity bodies in HTTP requests.
RFC 2616 says that iso-8859-1 is the default charset for HTTP entity bodies, but we encoded strings using ascii. See http://bugs.python.org/issue5314. Changed docs and code to use iso-8859-1. Also fix some brokenness with passing a file as the body instead of a string. Add tests to show that some of this behavior actually works.
