Storing a UTF8 string fails with Cyrillic characters.

[Brian Nickel]

Okay, I figured out what was going wrong. I thought setTitle and the like 
would set an Id3v2 frame's encoding using the TagLib::String's encoding, and 
wasn't setting it, so it was still being stored and read as Latin1.

Thanks for your help. Again, this is an outstanding library.
