[PATCH v13 04/10] utf8: teach same_encoding() alternative UTF encoding names

[lars . schneider]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschnei...@gmail.com>

The function same_encoding() could only recognize alternative names for
UTF-8 encodings. Teach it to recognize all kinds of alternative UTF
encoding names (e.g. utf16).

While we are at it, fix a crash that would occur if same_encoding() was
called with a NULL argument and a non-NULL argument.

This function is used in a subsequent commit.
