cherry-pick: do not dump core when iconv fails
When cherry-picking, usually the new and old commit encodings are both
UTF-8. Most old iconv implementations do not support this trivial
conversion, so on old platforms, out->message remains NULL, and later
attempts to read it segfault.
Fix this by noticing the input and output encodings match and skipping
the iconv step, like the other reencode_string() call sites already do.
Also stop segfaulting on other iconv failures: if iconv fails for some
other reason, the best we can do is to pass the old message through.
This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.1-rc0~15^2~2 (revert:
clarify label on conflict hunks, 2010-03-20).
