[1.0.X] Fixed #9212: Added code to check the xgettext version, and if it is lower than 0.15, undo an incorrect encoding to utf-8 done by xgettext. This bug was fixed in xgettext 0.15, but the most-easily-installed Windows gettext binaries are older (0.13.1), so we work around it.
Backport of r9155 from trunk.
