[PATCH] convert: use skip_iprefix() in validate_encoding()

[René Scharfe]

Use skip_iprefix() to parse "UTF" case-insensitively instead of checking
with istarts_with(), building an upper-case version and then using
skip_prefix() on it.  This gets rid of duplicate code and of a small
allocation.

I think we could drop xstrdup_toupper() after this.

Of course it _could_ come in handy in another spot, but in most cases
you can use xstrdup_tolower() interchangeably (e.g., that would have
worked here). And even the tolower() variant is seldom used.
