Support for /CODEPAGE

[Paul-Andrew Joseph Miseiko]

To the best of my knowledge the IRCD does not actually modify the contents
that comes after the : in a PRIVMSG.  So why would the IRCD need to know
about the information the client sends it (what CODEPAGE it is) when the
IRCD is pretty much dumb to the information a client sends to another client
or channel.  This sounds more like something the client would implement and
not the server.

The classic definition is:

Codepage: "An ordered set of characters in which a numeric index (code point

values) is associated with each character. The first 128 characters of each 
codepage are functionally the same and include all characters needed to type

English text. The upper 128 characters of OEM and ANSI codepages contain 
characters used in a language or group of languages ".

Actually "encoding" would be a more precise term since utf8 can rappresent
more than 256 characters.
