This means that what gets encoded in base64 is the encoded version of the
unicode payload.  This bug was revealed by a forward port of the tests from
Issue 1368247, but the fix was completely different.

Note that the merge is only of the tests, the doc changes were inappropriate
since email5 expects unicode, not bytes.  I'm also not convinced that
quopri works correctly in email5, but that's a different issue.

  #1368247: make set_charset/MIMEText automatically encode unicode _payload.

  Fixes (mysterious, to the end user) UnicodeErrors when using utf-8 as
  the charset and unicode as the _text argument.  Also makes the way in
  which unicode gets encoded to quoted printable for other charsets more
  sane (it only worked by accident previously).  The _payload now is encoded
  to the charset.output_charset if it is unicode.
