[PATCH (GIT-GUI,GITK) 3/8] git-gui: Allow forcing display encoding for diffs using a submenu.

From
Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com>

<1221685659-476-3-git-send-email-angavrilov@gmail.com>

Add a submenu to allow dynamically changing the encoding to use for diffs. Encoding settings are remembered while git-gui runs. The rules are:

1) Encoding set for a specific file overrides gitattributes.
2) Last explicitly set value of the encoding overrides gui.encoding
