Evaluate moving to encoding_rs

As encoding crate hasn't been updated in some time, there may be a benefit I using a more frequently updated crate. A feasibility analysis is needed.

This is tightly related to #16

encoding_rs does not handle ISO-8859-1, which is required for the library to correctly function. Currently encoding_rs alone is not a valid solution to the issue. However, the decoupling between the library and rxing is now nearly complete, so if a solution which does handle ISO-8859-1 arrives then it is relatively trivial to switch away from the encoding crate.
