Encoding autodetection concept

There were suggested a lot of improvements of the TC`s codepage autodetection. For example ito distinguish between unicodes UTF16, UTF8 and ANSI without BOMs in Lister,Compare tool etc. (maybe also for FTP). Unfortunately most of these are impossible to implement because they are country dependent.

My suggestion is to make the detection of the encoding and the codepage in the separate DLL, as this is already implemented for quicksearch. Some kind of semiplugin :) This way all country specific things could be implemented by third-party programmer for each country. I think all would be happy :)

Support. Also I think that such dll should have some country/locale code in its name so TC would choose right one for local environment.
