Backport PR #4345: Make irunner compatible with upcoming pexpect 3.0 interface

`irunner` is designed to use the native string type on both Python 2 and Python 3. This allows it to use the correct form of `pexpect.spawn`.

Backport PR #4668: Make non-ASCII docstring unicode

We shouldn't have non-ascii characters in a bytes literal. This seems to be the source of problems for the docs build on ShiningPanda.

Merging straight away, just making a PR so there's a record of this.

Backport PR #4868: Static path fixes

more use of the package dir instead of static file dir, and update a previous test patch of mine to work for build and install time tests
Backport PR #4909: sort dictionary keys before comparison, ordering is not guaranteed

Backport PR #4720: never use ssh multiplexer in tunnels

`ssh -f` is [broken in OpenSSH](https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1948) when a ControlMaster multiplexed connection is used.

`-S none` disables the multiplexed connection.

Backport PR #4820: fix regex for cleaning old logs with ipcluster

Backport PR #4903: use https for all embeds

I can't think of a reason not to, and http embeds won't work on https pages.

Backport PR #4849: Various unicode fixes (mostly on Windows)

There were warnings on startup of IPython, and the qtconsole and notebook could not be started at all if the user's home directory is unicode.

Changes:

- add `prefer_stream=True` flag to utils.encoding.getdefaultencoding, since the right answer is different for stream output and other things.
- always encode args to Popen on Windows Python 2
- never add unicode to sys.path on Python 2

These should be backported for 1.2, and it would be great if some unicode-locale Windows users (@jstenar) could double check the sanity of the changes.
