Even though parse-options doesn't support UTF-8 switches (which
makes sense; non-ascii switches would be difficult to enter on
some keyboard layouts), it can be useful to report incorrectly
entered UTF-8 switches to make the output somewhat less ugly
for those of us with keyboard layouts with UTF-8 characters on
it.
Make the reporting code grok UTF-8 in the option sequence, and
write a variable-width output sequence.

As being both clumsy and Norwegian, I some times to enter the
Norwegian bizarro-letters ('æ', 'ø' and 'å') instead of the
correct ones when entering command-line options.
However, since git only looks at one byte at the time for
short-options, it ends up reporting a partial UTF-8 sequence
in such cases, leading to corruption of the output.
The "real fix" would probably be to add proper multi-byte
support to the short-option parser, but this serves little
purpose in Git; we don't internationalize the command-line
switches.
So perhaps this is a suitable band-aid instead?
