hg: set encoding to utf-8 by default to always show unicode characters correctly
Unicode characters would be shown as '?' if Kallithea was launched in a LANG=C
environment (or similar).
The problem could be solved by setting HGENCODING before launching Kallithea or
before importing Mercurial. These are often not good solutions.
Instead, introduce a hgencoding config setting that triggers monkey patching of
Mercurial.
