logging of strings with broken encoding

[Thomas Guettler]

My quick fix is this:

class MyFormatter(logging.Formatter):
    def format(self, record):
        msg=logging.Formatter.format(self, record)
        if isinstance(msg, str):
            msg=msg.decode('utf8', 'replace')
        return msg

But I still think handling of non-ascii byte strings should be better.
A broken logging message is better than none.

And, if there is a UnicodeError, handleError() should not send the message
to sys.stderr, but it should use emit() of the current handler.

In my case sys.stderr gets discarded. Its very hard to debug, if you don't
see any logging messages.
