The encoding picker should have a less confusing list and a way to search in it #26

Description

@lhecker

Editors such as VS Code rely on iconv, which we can't (binary size). Left with ICU, the problem is that it

  • doesn't expose human readable names for its supported encodings
  • the naming of the encodings doesn't always follow an easily understandable rule
  • and it supports a lot of encodings

We should:

  • Add fuzzy search (src/fuzzy.rs)
  • Consider adding proper names for some of them (optional? how?)
  • Consider adding the encoding aliases too ucnv_getAliases
