Subject: [PATCH] Enable to pass an object to createBlob

createBlob automatically encodes string parameter
by Utf8 library. In some cases the string value
can be already encoded in Utf8 so the encoding
should be skipped.

This commit enables to pass object containing
the content and encoding items. This object is
directly sent to Github. Users have better control
about what is actually sending.

closes #463
