[Android] Build fails with error message "UnityException: Invalid project path" when using non-ASCII characters in project name
Reproduction steps:

3. In Project Settings > Project name set the name using non-ASCII characters (e.g "ąąąčččęęę")
4. Press "Create project" and wait for the Editor to open
5. Go to Build Settings, switch to Android Platform, and build the project
Expected result: The project is built, no errors in the Console window
Actual result: The project build fails, the error is thrown in the Console window: "UnityException: Invalid project path
Project path '/Users/*username*/*projectpath*/ąąąčččęęę' contains non-ASCII characters at position 32, Android Tools don't work properly with non-ASCII paths. Please move your project to path containing only ASCII characters."
