Stop unintended re-encoding of author names from UTF-8 to ASCIIHEADmaster

To see the bug in action, use an author map with umlauts, e.g.

nickname = Hällo Wörld from UTF-8 <mail@example.org>

and check "git log" after the conversion.

What is happening?
QByteArray "author" is first decoded as UTF-8 into a QString.
That QString is passed to QByteArray::append(const QString &)
which internally encodes the QString to ASCII byte data using
QString::toAscii().  "git fast-import" expects UTF-8 input
from us, so the original QByteArray with UTF-8 content is just
what we need.
