'cabal check' or 'cabal sdist' ought to warn about non-ASCII characters #11197

Describe the feature request

Hackage rejects tarballs that contain non-ASCII filenames, but neither cabal check nor cabal sdist complains. I suggest that one of these (probably cabal check) is modified to complain.

Additional context

A user (or bit of automation) can get quite far in a release process before encountering this at the very end.
