makepkg: restrict pkgname and pkgver to ascii
pkgname and pkgver are used as directory names within database files.
libarchive does not provide a reliable locale-independent method for
reading archive file names, causing errors when archive paths include
non-ascii characters.
This is a first step toward dealing with FS#49342, by hopefully reducing
the number of packages with non-ascii data in the wild before updating
libalpm to reject them outright.
