Use UTF-8 when reading/writing IPTC, set charset to UTF-8.

I did a little more digging, and it seems that to store UTF-8 in IPTC it is
necessary to set IPTC:CodedCharacterSet to "\33%G", otherwise it's still ASCII.
I've updated my path to always read and save as UTF8. Conversion ASCII->UTF8
when reading should be safe. Every time a field is changed the charset is set
to UTF8, so writing should be fine as well. I think it's an overkill but
checking all the characters every time is perhaps even worse.

Apparently, other charsets could also be supported, but I couldn't find any
details...
