Title: Fix unicode problem in headerid extension

slugify() requires unicode, not a str instance. This causes the extension to
crash:

File "/home/erik/virtualenv/bb/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/markdown/__init__.py" in markdown
386. return md.convert(text)
File "/home/erik/virtualenv/bb/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/markdown/__init__.py" in convert
287. newRoot = treeprocessor.run(root)
File "/home/erik/virtualenv/bb/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/markdown/extensions/headerid.py" in run
140. id = slugify(''.join(itertext(elem)), sep)
File "/home/erik/virtualenv/bb/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/markdown/extensions/headerid.py" in slugify
93. value = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', value).encode('ascii', 'ignore')

TypeError: must be unicode, not str
