banner_message utf-8 support

Hello,

This bug report is with reference to the discussion in the following
link.
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/dev/54481

Logging the defect with fix for consideration.

Description:
The banner message displayed on the screen contain octal values 
instead of korean chars. Prior to ssh 5.1 the banner message would 
display the charaters properly. 
I understand that starting from 5.1 the message is passed through 
strnvis() function. 
I looked into documentation on strnvis and found that it does not 
support multibyte chars and doesnt work well with international chars.
