gdb lets the user indicate the target charset.
In order to allow command-line completion we need a list of charsets.
Having an API is nicer than trying to parse iconv -l output.
Right now we have to have workarounds for old/strange versions of iconv.
Also this means that every gdb startup involves a second fork/exec.
