[MRG+1] Better explain middleware orders and processing directions

* Do not interpret non-ASCII bytes in "Location" and percent-encode them

Fixes GH-2321

The idea is to not guess the encoding of "Location" header value
and simply percent-encode non-ASCII bytes,
which should then be re-interpreted correctly by the remote website
in whatever encoding was used originally.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3987#section-3.2

This is similar to the changes to safe_url_string in
https://github.com/scrapy/w3lib/pull/45

* Remove unused import

[MRG+1] Use OpenSSL default ciphers

genspider: removing www. from starturl templates

Twisted default TLS options restricts the ciphers list a bit -- "a secure default"
https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/e38cc25a67747899c6984d6ebaa8d3d134799415/src/twisted/internet/_sslverify.py#L1861

We want to be a bit more permissive with Scrapy
(at least as permissive as Scrapy 1.0 was, and which used a default OpenSSL Context)

See https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_STRINGS

OpenSSL's 'DEFAULT' seems to be reasonable enough.

Fixes #2311
