git-svn: respect i18n.commitencoding config

git-svn: respect i18n.commitencoding config

SVN itself always stores log messages in the repository as
UTF-8.  git always stores/retrieves everything as raw binary
data with no transformations whatsoever.

To interact with SVN, we need to encode log messages as UTF-8
before sending them to SVN, as SVN cannot do it for us.  When
retrieving log messages from SVN, we also need to (attempt to)
reencode the UTF-8 log message back to the user-specified commit
encoding.

Note, handling i18n.logoutputencoding for "git svn log" also
needs to be done in a future change.

Also, this change only deals with the encoding of commit
messages and nothing else (path names, blob content, ...).
