subparse: Autodetect subtitle text encoding

Use uchardet to guess the subtitle text encoding if it is not in UTF-8 or manually specified instead of blindly guessing its "ISO-8859-15". The uchardet dependency is optional and when is not available at compile time, then old behaviour will be used.

About uchardet:

uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes
in an unknown character encoding without any additional information,
and attempts to determine the encoding of the text.

Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.

uchardet library is part of Freedesktop project.

Closes #9
