[PATCH ispell] Specify encoding to aspell

PATCH ispell

This is another patch that Fedora has carried for years.  If aspell
version 0.60 or later is in use, specify the text encoding.  Since
version 0.60 was released very close to a decade ago (August 2004), I
think we can safely assume that older versions can be ignored.
