Cobertura Report Specifies UTF-16 encoding, when it is saved as UTF-8

See original GitHub issue

This is a minor issue, but it causes other programs that read the xml file to fail with the following error: There is no Unicode byte order mark. Cannot switch to Unicode, since it expects the file to actually be UTF-16, even though it is saved as UTF-8. My recommendation is to change the header declaration to either remove the encoding piece, or specify UTF-8
