git-gui: Cleanup handling of the default encoding.
- Make diffs and blame default to the system (locale)
encoding instead of hard-coding UTF-8.
- Add a gui.encoding option to allow overriding it.
- gitattributes still have the final word.
The rationale for this is Windows support:
1) Windows people are accustomed to using legacy encodings
for text files. For many of them defaulting to utf-8
will be counter-intuitive.
2) Windows doesn't support utf-8 locales, and switching
the system encoding is a real pain. Thus the option.
This patch also adds proper encoding conversion to Apply Hunk/Line.
