Can not change the encoding in RTF.

Description
From #9654
Text files created on Windows have a default CP-1250 encoding. Haiku load by default UTF-8 and causes it display of incorrect character set. With the help of StyleEdit and iconv I can change the encoding.
This works for TXT and SRT. Unfortunately does not work for RTF.

"This works for TXT and SRT." - Changing encoding in SRT partially works in StyleEdit. StyleEdit correctly displays the file, but MediaPlayer not. I need to use iconv. https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9668#comment:1

It seems like the RTF translator does not support or take into account any charsets at all. Do you have an RTF file that is problematic that you can share?

I just looked at the specification, and it seems that RTF is always using 7-bit ASCII, and can only express other characters using a special notation. IOW nothing should really happen when you iconv it. That doesn't change the fact that we ignore those characters currently AFAICT.
iconv -f CP1250 -t UTF-8 < file.rtf > new.rtf - Do not change the encoding.
StyleEdit - After saving file with the new encoding, file is damaged.
