[Travis] ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ruby-1.9.3 only)

I tried to add export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in before_install to fix it, with no luck.

I believe this has already happen and fixed in other CP repositories, so we should just have to find where it is and apply it here.

That is because before_install is a separate flow and environmental variables may be torn down afterwards.

But damn, my fix didn't work. But the environmental variable is fixed. CocoaPods/guides.cocoapods.org#26 mentions a different variable. @alloy / @irrationalfab do you know what it should be?

Gotcha for before_install. I tried with before_script instead afterwards with no luck either. env was a better try (good idea) but if it doesn't help either, I'm out of ideas 😒

This is tiresome for no good reason, my pragmatic solution, let’s get rid of 1.9.3 from the test list. It’s not a current version, nor did it ever ship with OS X.

@alloy I believe that's what happened with Cocoapods/CocoaPods (as 1.9.3 is not in its .travis.yml), somebody probably got bored trying to solve that too some time ago ^^

I vote for removal of 1.9.3, let's not waste time on this for no good reason.
