Text: encoding about cryptii HOT 2 CLOSED

Whenever translation between bytes and text is required UTF-8 is indeed the default encoding.

I do not want to clutter the text views with an extra encoding option, because it adds extra complexity where it is not necessary (e.g. ROT13, Caesar Cipher). In addition text encoding and decoding happens not only in the text views. When you feed byte content to the Enigma encoder, it will lazily text encode before translation.

I suggest to introduce a new encoder brick that translates byte content between UTF-8 and other encodings. That's definitely a feature to be added soon.

Text encodings (except for implicit UTF-8 conversions between text and bytes) will not be supported by cryptii as of now. But please have a look at ciphereditor where a text encoder with 150+ encodings has already been implemented. See #129 for more.
