#12207: some IRC commands don't transcode their arguments to server's encoding

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 When using Pidgin's IRC component with a server with non-UTF-8 encoding,
 some /slash-commands perform poorly on non-ascii arguments. While sending
 messages and most commands, like changing /nick, setting /topic, making
 /whois on strings in national charset work just perfectly, it gets
 impossible to use /mode and /quote commands on similar inputs. In such
 cases the server replies about apparently ill-transcoded trash sent to it;
 pure ascii inputs work well.

 Attached patch fixes this issue.
