Unibyte != ASCII. Use encode-coding-string.

We normally don't mention bug fixes in there. Binding url-request-data 
to a string with multibyte characters never actually worked properly (it 
resulted in a wrong Content-Length value). Some servers may have ignored 
that, but some may have even corrupted data silently.

Patch welcome?
