Python 3: skip test_json_with_utf8 on Py3

The last skipped unit test should indeed be skipped: it does not make
sense to run it with Python 3.

$ python 2
>>> import json; json.dumps({'a': u'\xe9'.encode('utf-8')})
'{"a": "\\u00e9"}'

$ python3
>>> import json; json.dumps({'a': u'\xe9'.encode('utf-8')})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/json/encoder.py", line 173, in default
    raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")
TypeError: b'\xc3\xa9' is not JSON serializable

In Python 2, the JSON encoder function to encode a string begins with
a magic test to convert UTF-8 encoded string to Unicode:

    if isinstance(s, str) and HAS_UTF8.search(s) is not None:
        s = s.decode('utf-8')

This trick is gone in Python 3:
