[PATCH 1/1] gettext: always use UTF-8 on native Windows

["Karsten Blees via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de>

Git on native Windows exclusively uses UTF-8 for console output (both with
MinTTY and native Console windows). Gettext uses setlocale() to determine
the output encoding for translated text, however, MSVCRT's setlocale()
doesn't support UTF-8. As a result, translated text is encoded in system
encoding (GetAPC()), and non-ASCII chars are mangled in console output.

Use gettext's bind_textdomain_codeset() to force the encoding to UTF-8 on
native Windows.

In this developers' setup, HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is apparently defined, but
we *really* want to override the locale_charset() here.
