importing state of torrents from older deluge to newer deluge fails

[human]

On migrating from the earlier 1.3.15* to 2.0.3 a problem crops up which is probably caused by non-English letters in torrent names

log output exert

seems to be caused by pickle.load having encoding="ASCII" as default

​https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#pickle.load

/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/deluge/core/torrentmanager.py:812

                    state = pickle.load(_file)

should be changed something like the below (although the encoding probably need to be something else to cover all cases)

state = pickle.load(_file, encoding="utf-8")

then importing to 2.0.3 works just fine

A question from ​bloxd io: How do I check if there are non-English letters in my torrent names?
