[PATCH (GITK) v3 0/4] Enhance encoding support.

[Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com>]

Currently GUI tools don't provide enough support for
viewing files that contain non-ASCII characters. This set of
patches addresses this issue. The git-gui part of the series
is based on patches that were in the 'pu' branch of the
git-gui repository.

UPDATE: the git-gui part of the series is in master.

File encoding can be specified in the following ways:

1) It defaults to the current locale encoding.
2) It can be overridden by setting the gui.encoding option.
3) It can be further set on per-file basis by specifying
   the 'encoding' attribute in gitattributes.
4) Finally, git-gui allows directly selecting encodings
   through a popup menu.

Since git apparently cannot work with filenames in non-locale
encodings anyway, I did not try to do anything about it apart
from fixing some obvious bugs.


CHANGES v2:

- Wrote better comments for the first three patches.
- Added a patch to speed up loading of very large diffs.

CHANGES v3:

- Killed get_cached_encoding, replacing it with get_path_encoding.
- Squashed file name and content patches into one.
- Added the tcl_encoding reimplementation patch. I should
  say that without the second cache this really makes a
  difference with thousand-file diffs.
