Fix upcasing of a non-US-ASCII first letter under Ruby 1.8

In the rare circumstance that someone created a public body
whose name started with a lower case letter outside [a-z]
with Alaveteli running under Ruby 1.8, the letter would not be
upcased correctly before saving to the first_letter column.
This commit fixes that by using a Unicode-aware upcase function.
