[Catalyst] Forcing charset=utf-8 on all Content-Types for Catalyst::Controller::REST

[Nicholas Wehr]

notice that by default - C::V::JSON will detect utf8 "perl flagged" scalars
and automatically output the utf8 header. I've ran into issues where I was
pulling in file system data via YAML, which was *not* utf8 by default, and
ultimately caused my issue with utf8 display to an extjs javascript panel.

hope this helps.
