test: add ensure_ascii setting to AuthServiceProxy

Add a setting ensure_ascii to AuthServiceProxy. This setting,
defaulting to True (backwards compatible),
is passed through to json.dumps. If set to False, non-ASCII characters
>0x80 are not escaped. This is useful for testing server
input processing, as well as slightly more bandwidth friendly in case of
heavy unicode usage.
