Bug 26601: Add utf8 encoding to text output of overdue_notices.pl

This patch sets the UTF8 encoding for output of overdue_notices.pl when
outputting to txt.

To test:
0/ Check out an item with due date yesterday (use specify due date)
1/ Create ODUE text with utf8 encoded characters, chinese characters, umlauts etc
   <url>/cgi-bin/koha/tools/letter.pl?op=add_form&module=circulation&code=ODUE
2/ Run
   perl overdue_notices.pl -text ./
3/ Verify encoding in the generated text file is incorrect
4/ Apply patch and repeat 2/
3/ Confirm text now inludes properly encoded characters

With German umlauts on my system the editor still showed the
characters correctly (probably guessing the right encoding).
Using Chinese made the problem visible.
