Comment (by duncan):
This is easy. Just use `readUTF8File` from `Distribution.Simple.Utils`
rather than `readFile` in ghc-pkg. Though for reading from stdin it's
slightly harder as we need to put stdin into binary mode first and then
use `fromUTF8`.
The slightly trickier part is testing. We should at least check that
invalid UTF-8 is rejected appropriately (the parsing should do that for
us) and that valid multi-byte UTF-8 is round-tripped correctly. I'm not
sure what to do for `ghc-pkg describe` when it's going to a console that
isn't utf-8.
