Set the encoding when calling check_output in the build_configs script
[reviewed by @mppf]

Without this change, the returned output was bytes rather than str, which lead
to issues with concatenating a str to it later in the file.

./util/buildRelease/test_rpm_module.bash builds a module that can be loaded
and used to build hello.chpl (which runs appropriately) with this change.
