git-mailinfo '-u' argument should be default.

[David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>]

If you apply a patch with 'git-am', it takes the raw content of the
From: header, in whatever character set that happens to be, and puts
that content, untagged, into the commit object. 

That is almost _never_ the right thing to do, surely? Raw data in
untagged character sets is marginally better than line noise.

We should default to the '-u' behaviour, which converts to the character
set which the git repo is stored in. It's not just for converting to
UTF-8, although it looks like it was in the past. Now, however, it
converts to the character set defined in the configuration. So even if
it's a Luddite who for some reason is sticking with an obsolete
character set, it gets that right.

The only option which makes sense _other_ than that would be to just
stick the RFC2047-encoded original From: header into the commit, surely?
