I reproduced the issue and as @kidotaka gave us a great survey in #2226,
I don't conclude that the cause is UTF-8, but "an empty string (character)".
Therefore, I revert "throw error when meet non ascii (#2229)" whose commit hash
is 0d59859c, and add support feture names as UTF-8 again.

* Add handling of RandomState object, which is standard for sklearn methods.

LightGBM expects an integer seed instead of an object.
If passed object is RandomState, we choose random integer based on its state to seed the underlying low level code.
While chosen random integer is only in the range between 1 and 1e10 I expect it to have enough entropy (?) to not matter in practice.

* Add RandomState object to random_state docstring.

* remove blank line

* Use property to handle setting random_state.
This enables setting cloned estimators with the set_params method in sklearn.

* Add docstring to attribute.

* Fix and simplify docstring.

* Add test case.

* Use maximal int for datatype in seed derivation.

* Replace random_state property with interfacing in fit method.
Derives int seed for C code only when fitting and keeps RandomState object as param.

* Adapt unit test to property change.

* Extended test case and docstring

* Add more equality checks (feature importance, best iteration/score).
