giscanner: Use unicode literals in all Python files

Add unicode_literals future import which turns any string literal
into a unicode string. Return unicode strings from the Python C extension
module. Force writing of annotations (g-ir-annotation-tool) to output utf8
encoded data to stdout.
This is an initial pass at following the "unicode sandwich"
model of programming (http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html)
needed for supporting Python 3.
