Use default encoding settings when reading syslog data over SSH to avoid errors when attempting to read some latin1-encoded characters (e.g., mu or u with umlaut) as utf-8. This reverts 58effdf (vmware#7977). Additionally, remove retry of the cat operation; it seems like one of the least likely steps of this process to fail, and code history does not reveal any reason it was added. This reverts 18841ed (vmware#6841).

This will hopefully eliminate this problem:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 1787713: invalid start byte
