building images fails with 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2018' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

[Alex Schultz]

Attempting to build the overcloud images with the following:

source stackrc
export NODE_DIST=centos7
export USE_DELOREAN_TRUNK=1
export DELOREAN_TRUNK_REPO="http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/rdo-trunk-master-tripleo/"
export DELOREAN_REPO_FILE="delorean.repo"
export DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF=/etc/yum.repos.d/delorean*
export DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF="$DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Ceph-Jewel.repo"
export OS_YAML="/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-common/image-yaml/overcloud-images-centos7.yaml"
openstack overcloud image build --config-file /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-common/image-yaml/overcloud-images.yaml --config-file $OS_YAML | tee build.log

Results in a failure with the following error:

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2018' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

    Open log in utf-8 to prevent UnicodeEncodeError

    In python2 opens files as ascii by default, we were getting errors when
    trying to write out unicode to log files. This change pulls in the
    codecs module for python2 to support writing unicode out to files. In
    python3, all strings are unicode so there is no issues when writing them
    out to a file.
