my_activity.py: Fix to work with non-ascii characters

my_activity.py: Fix to work with non-ascii characters

The default encoding for python 2.7 strings is ascii.  Some of
the titles of issues, such as http://crbug.com/477941, contain
non-ascii characters, and cause my_activity.py to throw an
exception.  Re-encode the unicode title string to ascii with
the 'replace' option, to replace non-ascii characters with '?'.

R=maruel@chromium.org
BUG=none
TEST=Run `my_activity.py` with #477941 in my issues list; correctly
     lists issues without throwing an exception.

my_activity.py:863: if __name__ == '__main__':
Please have it use fix_encoding instead, it does much more and will set the
default encoding to utf-8 or something workable on Windows too.

Sure.  When I added that, it still came up with the same error.  fix_encoding
doesn't seem to set the sys.stdout.encoding to the same value as
sys.getdefaultencoding(), so when trying to print the unicode string, it would
still try to convert it to 'ascii' in my terminal.  From what I read, changing
the sys.stdout.encoding value, while possible, can have some poor side effects. 
So I instead encoded the title before printing it.  Let me know if theres a
better way to handle this.
