Since setuptools v40.7.0: "#1180: Add support for non-ASCII in setup.cfg (#1062)" https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/1180
This means that setup.cfg also follows PEP 263 and Python will default to ASCII as standard encoding if no other encoding hints are given.
Fixes: https://pagure.io/python-daemon/issue/32
As of version 40.9.0, Setuptools ignores encoding declarations and simply requires the text to be encoded as UTF-8.
