Ensure any user-input URLs are passed to the core in UTF-8.

Everything else, including any content of the URL bar which hasn't just been entered by the user, is assumed to be in ASCII.
NB: The exception is the ARexx OPEN command.  This is because NetSurf uses the ARexx port and this command internally when multiple instances are opened.
file: addresses typed into the address bar containing non-ASCII characters will probably no loger work, but it is expected that under normal circumstances, users will either drag'n'drop files or use Project=>Open.  If it becomes an issue I will work around it at a later date.

+Note that if the URL is non-ASCII it is expected to be encoded in UTF-8 (file: references should always be in local charset due to filesystem limitations). Usually this is not relevant, as all normalised URLs will be in their ASCII form.
