Refactored oscar_encoding_to_utf8(). 1. Removed elb's hack from #1645. It doesn't appear to be necessary anymore, since the recent official clients (6.5, 7.1) aren't that stupid now. 2. Simplified logic in incomingim_chan2(). 3. Removed all NULL return check for oscar_encoding_to_utf8(), because it will always return non-NULL value.
