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.)
