Data Providers are showing wrong characters in forms. Basically, seems like json WS call is bringing json data with an encoding different than UTF-8.

Steps to reproduce in master/7.0.x:

1. Start a portal and login with administrator user.
2. Create user with firstName field value: 'jamón'
3. Create a data provider (#adding-and-configuring-a-data-provider) adding next configuration:

   Field	Value
   Name	dp example
   URL	http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/user/get-company-users/company-id/20100/start/-1/end/-1
   User Name	Admin user, e.g.: [email protected]
   Password	Admin password

   Only in master Inside 'Outputs section':

   Field	Value
   Label	id
   Path	firstName
   Type	List

   Only in 7.0.x:

   Field	Value
   Displayed JSON Attribute	firstName
   Stored JSON Attribute	id

4. Create a form using data provider as a 'select' field (#using-a-data-provider-in-a-select-field)
5. Create new page; Add form application; and select new form created in step 4.

Expected behavior:
Select field shows option field 'jamón' with correct characters.
Actual behavior:
 Select field shows option field 'jamón' but 'o´' character is wrong.
