Attach wizard doesn't allow Unicode

Description

The Attach to Project Wizard doesn't allow Unicode in the username field.

The validator restricts characters to wxFILTER_ASCII. World Community Grid allows Unicode usernames, and so should all projects. BOINC Unicode support is decidedly flaky. I notice that team names use HTML character encoding, instead of Unicode. Is there a reason for this? Everything ought to be Unicode - it's just so much simpler that way. (Here endeth the Unicode Sermon.)
