reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()

Callers of reencode_string() that re-encodes a string from one
encoding to another all used ad-hoc way to bypass the case where the
input and the output encodings are the same.  Some did strcmp(),
some did strcasecmp(), yet some others when converting to UTF-8 used
is_encoding_utf8().

Introduce same_encoding() helper function to make these callers use
the same logic.  Notably, is_encoding_utf8() has a work-around for
common misconfiguration to use "utf8" to name UTF-8 encoding, which
does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the
same.  Make use of it in this helper function.
