oleibman 09c9a310a0 Html Reader Non-UTF8 Charsets
Fix #3995. Fix #866. Fix #1681. Php DOM loadhtml defaults to character set ISO-8859-1, but our data is UTF-8. So Html Reader alters its html so that loadhtml will not misinterpret characters outside the ASCII range. This works for UTF-8, but breaks other charsets. However, loadhtml uses the correct non-default charset when charset is specified in a meta tag, or when the html starts with a BOM. So, it is sufficient for us to alter the non-ASCII characters only when (a) the data does not start with a BOM, and (b) there is no charset tag.

This will allow us to use:
- UTF-8 files or snippets without BOM, with or without charset
- UTF-8 files with BOM (charset should not be specified and will be ignored if it is)
- UTF-16 files with BOM (charset should not be specified and will be ignored if it is)
- all charsets which are ASCII-compatible for 0x00-0x7f when the charset is declared. This applies to ASCII itself, many Windows and Mac charsets, all of ISO-8859, and most CJK and other-language-specific charsets.

We cannot use:
- UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE declared in a meta tag
- UTF-32, with or without a BOM (browser recommendation is to not support UTF-32, and most browsers do not support it)
- unknown (to loadhtml) or non-ASCII-compatible charsets (EBCDIC?)

I will note that the way I detect the `charset` attribute is imperfect (e.g. might find it in text rather than a meta tag). I think we'd need to write a browser to get it perfect. Anyhow, it is about the same as XmlScanner's attempt to find the `encoding` attribute, and, if it's good enough there, it ought to be good enough here.
