Start defaulting to UTF-8 everywhere in Jumbo.

[magnumripper]

So far we've kept "core compatibility" but it's starting to get silly. Virtually all terminals are UTF-8. These settings would make a whole lot more sense in john.conf:

DefaultEncoding = UTF-8
DefaultMSCodepage = CP850
DefaultInternalEncoding = ISO-8859-1
AlwaysReportUTF8 = Y
UnicodeStoreUTF8 = Y
CPstoreUTF8 = Y

Con: Changing this may make your old .pot file become "out of sync" with the settings (iconv or cprepair can be used to fix a lot of it).
Pro: That will never happen again. Ever. Because UTF-8 can harbor characters from ANY codepage.
