Title: [libexif] Added character set conversion to UserComment

This PR adds charset conversion to the EXIF UserComment field.

The current implementation does not handle Unicode comments correctly:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12628: PicInformation, EXIF "User Comment" shows only 1 char.

My implementation adds a CommentsCharset field to libexif and does the actual conversion outside of the lib in PictureInfoTag.cpp (because we have the CharsetConverter class available there).

You can find the relevant part of the spec here: http://www.exif.org/Exif2-2.PDF (page 28).
I also added 2 example pictures to the bugreport for testing.
