When using french accents in hostnames the inventory plugin fails on utf8 decoding.

[matthewpomeryssq]

Ex if hostname is set to "Réservé"
Inventory module will fail with: [WARNING]: * Failed to parse /export/home/netansible/micetro_test/inventory/mm_inventory.yml with mm_inventory plugin: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 15889: invalid continuation byte

Issue can be resolved by using ISO-8859-1 decoding here:

ansible-module/ansible/plugins/inventory/mm_inventory.py

Line 218 in 519b0f8

response = response.decode('utf8')

ex. response = response.decode('ISO-8859-1')

As far as I know accents are not allowed in hostnames. RFC-952 states that the only allowed characters are A-Z, 0-9, - and . and that the name should start with a letter. RFC-1123 relaxes that a bit by allowing a hostname to start with a letter or a digit (2.1).
