function AnsiToUTF and localeToUTF duplicate and conflict

[Yung-Jang Lee]

Hi,all:

I have check that the results to call localeToUTF and ANSIToUTF8 are exact
the same in my machine. But for CP1252 encoding I don't convert to UTF
inside localeToUTF in current implementation (I thought CP1252 is a subset
of UNICODE).

So, may be we can remove calling 'ANSIToUTF8' in 'printf_scilab' and let
'localeToUTF' always perform convert even for CP1252 encoding.

Or any suggections ?
