Patch to add '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' to default 'unifi_javaflags' in
net-mgmt/unifi8 rc file

Currently, attempting to use UTF-8 characters in SSID names (or at trying to
use emoji) does appear correctly in the UniFi interface, but the characters get
ascii-fied to '?' when pushing to access points and so the broadcast SSID is
different and incorrect.

This appears to be because the rc file for UniFi in the FreeBSD port does not
include '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' in the Java flags (and both the systemd unit
and LSB init script provided in the upstream UniFi package for Debian do
include this flag and do not suffer from this issue). I've manually added the
relevant flag by setting 'unifi_javaflags' in rc.local and confirmed that it
does fix the issue.

I've attached a patch to ports that should fix the default 'unifi_javaflags'
value in the port's rc file to include the UTF-8 flag itself.

Let me know if you need more info, thanks!
