~sschwarzer/ftputil#162: 
Change file path encoding to UTF-8

Version 5.0.0 made sure that the default encoding of Latin1 for file paths consistently wasn't just used for Python 3.8 and before, but also for Python 3.9 and later (see also #143). The default was chosen to keep ftputil "compatible with itself."

However, since by now UTF-8 is the suggested default for FTP and Python has supported UTF-8 as FTP path encoding for several versions, it makes sense to follow ftplib in the Python standard library.
