The iconv implementation on many platforms will accept
variants of UTF-8, including "UTF8", "utf-8", and "utf8",
but some do not. We make allowances in our code to treat
them all identically, but we sometimes hand the string from
the user directly to iconv. In this case, the platform iconv
may or may not work.
There are really four levels of platform iconv support for
these synonyms:
1. All synonyms understood (e.g., glibc).
2. Only the official "UTF-8" understood (e.g., Windows).
3. Official "UTF-8" not understood, but some other synonym
understood (it's not known whether such a platform exists).
4. Neither "UTF-8" nor any synonym understood (e.g.,
ancient systems, or ones without utf8 support
installed).
This patch teaches git to fall back to using the official
"UTF-8" spelling when iconv_open fails (and the encoding was
one of the synonym spellings). This makes things more
convenient to users of type 2 systems, as they can now use
any of the synonyms for the log output encoding.
Type 1 systems are not affected, as iconv already works on
the first try.
Type 4 systems are not affected, as both attempts already
fail.
Type 3 systems will not benefit from the feature, but
because we only use "UTF-8" as a fallback, they will not be
regressed (i.e., you can continue to use "utf8" if your
platform supports it). We could try all the various
synonyms, but since such systems are not even known to
exist, it's not worth the effort.

Further updates to the user manual.
* wk/user-manual:
user-manual: Flesh out uncommitted changes and submodule updates
user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" text
user-manual: Reorganize the reroll sections, adding 'git rebase -i'
A change made on v1.8.1.x maintenance track had a nasty regression
to break the build when autoconf is used.
* jn/less-reconfigure:
Makefile: avoid infinite loop on configure.ac change
"git check-ignore ." segfaulted, as a function it calls deep in its
callchain took a string in the <ptr, length> form but did not stop
when given an empty string.
* as/check-ignore:
name-hash: allow hashing an empty string
t0008: document test_expect_success_multi
An earlier change to config.mak.autogen broke a build driven by the
./configure script when --htmldir is not specified on the command
line of ./configure.
* ct/autoconf-htmldir:
Bugfix: undefined htmldir in config.mak.autogen
* bw/get-tz-offset-perl:
cvsimport: format commit timestamp ourselves without using strftime
perl/Git.pm: fix get_tz_offset to properly handle DST boundary cases
Move Git::SVN::get_tz to Git::get_tz_offset

mergetool, bisect, and other commands that use
git-sh-setup print a usage string that is inconsistent
with the rest of Git when they are invoked as "git $cmd -h".
The compiled builtins use the lowercase "usage:" string
but these commands say "Usage:". Adjust the shell library
to make these consistent.
