Accept-Charset for UTF-8 preference

[Nathan Hamblen]

If you've been following the Meetup API for long you know that originally all methods returned results in the ISO-8859-1 character encoding. Later we transitioned to UTF-8, but only for methods instituted after that point. If we were to change the default encoding for existing methods, it could break applications that expected ISO-8859-1.

There are a number of reasons to prefer UTF-8 universally, so now it's possible to opt-in to this encoding for _all_ methods. If you include an " Accept-Charset: utf-8" header in your request, we'll respond in UTF-8.
