Always read metadata files as UTF-8 in setup.py

This passes `encoding="utf-8"` to the `open` calls in setup.py, so
the readme, version, and requirements files are always read as
UTF-8, even on systems whose locale is not UTF-8. This fixes the
bug described in #1747 where installation other than from a
pre-built wheel would fail on many Windows systems using
non-European languages.

The specific problem occurred with the README.md file. The
requirements files are less likely to contain characters not in the
ASCII subset, though maybe they could come to contain them, perhaps
in comments. The VERSION file is even less likely to ever contain
such characters. Nonetheless, for consistency, because it is a best
practice, and because it appears to be the intent of the existing
code, encoding="utf=8" is added for opening all of them.

This change is tested on a system whose locale uses Windows code
page 936. Editable installation, as well as the other affected ways
of installing (and building) described in #1747, are now working.
