String IANA Character Set Encoding

Adds the ability of taking an IANA encoding name and converting it into a String.Encoding object.

This package uses the CFStringConvertIANACharSetNameToEncoding and CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding methods.

Usage

let ianaEncodingName: String = "UTF8"
guard let encoding = String(IANACharSetName: ianaEncodingName) else { 
    throw Error.InvalidEncoding(ianaEncodingName)
}

_ = encoding.IANACharSetName
_ = encoding.noDashIANACharSetName
