Uploader upload route containing UTF-8 characters

[amazeika]

The uploader options contain the URL as provided by the router route object. If the path contains non encoded characters the json_encode call will encode these if the JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE is not set.

@ercanozkaya I've got this support ticket assigned to me. The customer says it got fixed on 3.7.4 but I've just upgraded and still have the same issue.

The problem is when json encoding the URL available in the uploader options. The URL contains the menu item alias and when this one contains special characters these get encoded (not URL encoded) by the json_encode function invalidating the URL.

A solution is to force json_encode not to encode via the JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE flag.

Thoughts?

@amazeika @ercanozkaya Is this something we can resolve? Or is it too hard?
