Stop using custom encodings (and LATIN-1, for that matter) for sending OSCAR messages (ICBM, chat, Direct IM). Now, we use ASCII if a message contains ASCII characters only, and UTF-16 in all other cases. That fixes #10833 (offline messages now will be sent as UTF-16) and also a whole bunch of potential problems we can get with charset 0x3. Different clients tend to interpret this charset differently; for instance, the official client always interprets it as LATIN-1, while alternative clients may decode it as some other user-specified 8-bit encoding. On the other hand, ASCII messages (charset 0x0) and UTF-16 messages (charset 0x2) are understood uniformly by all clients. I also cleaned-up the code a little (got rid of code paths that were never executed, flags that were always set, unused struct members, etc.)
