Summary: xmlrpclib: wrong decoding in '_stringify'

Initial Comment:
'_stringify' tries to convert a unicode string 
into a pure ascii string by 'str(string)'. 
 
This can lead to catastrophic behaviour when 
Python's "defaultencoding" is not "ascii". 
 
The attached patch uses "string.encode('ascii')" 
instead 
to become independent of the default encoding.
