Currently, the UTF-8 right single quote mark is used in a few files. This can cause issues on some systems which aren't configured to use UTF-8 as their default charset. For example, when cloning, SVN halts when pulling the multicast_7’ file unless $LC_CTYPE is a UTF8-like:

$ echo $LC_CTYPE

$ svn up
...
A    MOOS_Jan2123/MOOSEssentials/Essentials/pShare/pshare_test_scripts
svn: E000022: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
svn: E000022: /home/moos/moos-ivp/MOOS_Jan2123/MOOSEssentials/Essentials/pShare/pshare_test_scripts/multicast_7'
# fatal error

# Swap to UTF-8 encoding
$ export LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8
$ svn up
# successfully completes

This PR removes the log file which causes this to happen with SVN, and replaces the token in a few code examples, hopefully preventing it from happening again. The symbol is used all over the readme.md file, but I only updated the occurrences inside codeblocks.

Currently, the locale is the POSIX default "C".
Some files in the moos tree, however, use UTF-8 characters, which can
cause applications to fail (notably, the SVN checkout & update process).
See themoos/essential-moos#15 for more context.

This commit changes the default to "C.UTF-8", enabling use of the
extended charset.
