authenticate: Allow signatures with binary data to be written to stdout.

Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/17312>.

* guix/scripts/authenticate.scm (guix-authenticate): Add calls to
  'set-port-encoding!' and 'set-port-conversion-strategy!'.  Wrap body
  in 'with-fluids' form that sets '%default-port-encoding' and
  '%default-port-conversion-strategy'.
* tests/guix-authenticate.sh: Add test.
* tests/pk-crypto.scm ("hash corrupt due to restrictive locale
  encoding"): Add reference to bug.
