[PATCH 9/9] gitk i18n: Recode gitk from latin1 to utf8 so that the (c) copyright character is valid utf8.

When using translations, the target language must be encoded in utf-8
because almost all target languages will contain non-ascii characters.
For that reason, the non-translated strings should be in utf-8 as well
so that there isn't any encoding mixup inside the program.
