[Geany] Japanese encodings

[Yo Sato]

Thanx Enrico, this does switch the encoding, which allows me to continue 
using the program!

However it would be nice to see the Japanese encoding detection improved 
(the problem happened both on Linux and Win versions). I also find it a 
bit misleading to see the encoding display at the bottom when the text 
gets garbled when the text is actually in that encoding (and decoded 
wrongly).
