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.
