[PATCH] cvsserver: Avoid miscounting bytes in Perl v5.8.x

[Martin Langhoff <martin@catalyst.net.nz>]

At some point between v5.6 and 5.8 Perl started to assume its input,
output and filehandles are UTF-8. This breaks the counting of bytes
for the CVS protocol, resulting in the client expecting less data
than we actually send, and storing truncated files.

This has gone unfixed for quite a while. I thought I had seen
a patch posted addressing it, but it may have been for something else.

In fact, our heavily patched gitweb.cgi has needed a similar patch
as well. Snapshot downloads were getting corrupted until we added
use bytes; there too. I'm not sure how current gitweb does it though...
