[ANN] encoding_rs_io provides an io::Read implementation for encoding_rs

The encoding_rs_io crate provides a simple adapter that wraps any io::Read and provides an io::Read implementation itself that transcodes from a source encoding to UTF-8. By default, it uses BOM sniffing to automatically transcode UTF-16 with no extra work on the part of the caller. An explicit encoding may also be specified (up to the encodings supported by the encoding_rs crate).

The "future work" section outlines some possible use cases that this crate doesn't hit. I don't have any compelling use cases for them at the moment, but I'd be happy to try and mentor development on that front for folks with use cases the demand them.
