Unicode error

Reported by @vovkkk (source):

date format: %y-%b-%d %H:%M or just %b
env: Windows 7 with Russian l10n, ST 2.0.1 2217
error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 356, in run_
  File ".\insert_date.py", line 38, in run
  File ".\encodings\utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 4-6: invalid data

If I replace utf-8 with cp1251 then it works as it should.

I'm not sure what way is best but here I've used this:

sys_enc = locale.getpreferredencoding()
text = text.decode(sys_enc) 

seems to work

btw, in Python 3 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' (see aziz/PlainTasks#83)

Thanks for the heads up but I fear that I have to adjust many parts for ST3 compatibility (I was messing a long time with encodings, e.g. for "local" %Z). Maybe I will just split the package into two branches and only continue developing for ST3 because as it is now this package is pretty much feature complete.
