Clarify that textual data is encoded in UTF-8.

Daniel Kahn Gillmor requested to merge use-utf-8 into main

I think this is an editorial change, since even RFC 4880 already said

Unless otherwise specified, the character set for text is the UTF-8

And nothing in either clarification specified otherwise. But hopefully these clarifications make it even clearer that wherever textual data shows up in OpenPGP it will be UTF-8 encoded.
