Patch enables some diacritics to show correctly when exporting labels to PDF

The patch changes one line in labels/label-create-pdf.pl and calls 
utf8::decode($line);  and it helps toggle the utf8 flag accordingly.

This patch helps my diacritics to show correctly when exporting labels batches
to PDF.

Problem Label:
1150Jahre Marköbel, 850 Jahre Baiersröderhof
3886542378
Books
943/.416

Better Label:
1150Jahre Marköbel, 850Jahre Baiersröderhof
3886542378
Books
943/.416

The fix decodes the text we send to the PDF and turns off the utf8 flag as
needed.

Note:
I suspect this is just a baby step for a certain subset of diacritics and
someone with more extensive diacritics may not see a benefit.

This patch does not fix larger unicode/embedded font issues, which require more
extensive work, but it may buy time until that work is accomplished.

I hope this works for others.
