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.)

/*
   This example demonstrates how to use libpurple-client to communicate
   with purple.  The names and signatures of functions provided by
   libpurple-client are the same as those in purple.  However, all
   structures (such as PurpleAccount) are opaque, that is, you can only
   use pointer to them.  In fact, these pointers DO NOT actually point
   to anything, they are just integer identifiers of assigned to these
   structures by purple.  So NEVER try to dereference these pointers.
   Integer ids as disguised as pointers to provide type checking and
   prevent mistakes such as passing an id of PurpleAccount when an id of
   PurpleBuddy is expected.  According to glib manual, this technique is
   portable.
