[bug #17618] Incorrect charset used for some locales

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #17618 (project mldonkey):

The problem about tip is the filename are not converted to UTF-8 encoding
properly when it displayed in the tip window.
For example, in the src/daemon/driver/driverCommands.ml:

(Http_server.html_real_escaped (Filename.basename
impl.impl_shared_codedname))
...
(Filename.basename impl.impl_shared_codedname)

The codedname may not in UTF-8 if the system default encoding is not UTF-8, a
conversion is needed before print out the filename. I found the "shorten"
method did the conversion properly, so it will be a workaround by calling
shorten for filename before write to buffer.
For example:
(shorten (Http_server.html_real_escaped (Filename.basename
impl.impl_shared_codedname)) 999)
...
(shorten (Filename.basename impl.impl_shared_codedname) !!max_name_len)
