This release introduces a new experimental utf8foldernames configuration option.

We already had the "tricky" decodefoldernames which is now deprecated. The new
code is the correct implementation for this feature. The changes are neat and
rather small. All the users having decodefoldernames are requested to move to
utf8foldernames. This requires to update almost all the functions like
nametrans, folderfilter, etc, because they work on the UTF-8 encoding. See the
documentation for more. Thank you Urs Liska for this contribution!

In the long run, the idea is to:

1. Remove decodefoldernames in favour of utf8foldernames.
2. Promote utf8foldernames up to stable.
3. Turn utf8foldernames on by default.

Currently, folders with non-ASCII characters in their name have to be fully
re-downloaded. So, there's a bit more work to be done to have (3) and maybe (2).

Also, this release includes a fix about remotehost and transporttunnel that
would require some testing. Thanks Thomas Merkel!

There are documentation improvements, improved errors and minor code cleanups,
too.
