utf8 encoding for json outputs

Description

WordPress includes a wp_json_encode() method for dealing with non-UTF8 strings before passing them to json_encode().

The standalone API handler doesn't have this available to it, and as such, doesn't handle JSON outputs for data containing non-utf8 data (which often occur within readme's and reviews).

I would suggest we should just borrow wp_json_encode() and namespace it appropriately, or we could alternatively include a compat file for stand-alone instances when WordPress hasn't been included.

Does anyone have any examples of plugins whose JSON has invalid UTF8 characters?

Sorry for not including a link to one when I opened this ticket..

I'm going to close this off - Either it's a problem still and hasn't been reported in a long time, or it's been fixed..
