[EGIT PATCH 01/26] Force all source code to UTF-8 encoding by default

To keep things simple we should use a single character encoding for all of our source files, and UTF-8 is the best choice as it will handle any possible Unicode character but the majority of our source is plain 'ole ASCII.

We really want to support full Unicode in our sources so we can setup Unicode test vectors, have translations which are usually in the standard encoding, and correctly support author names in source code copyright comments.
