It's not that EWW ignored the charset, but it did pretty strange
things with its value, and with decoding of the text in general.

I believe I fixed that in commit 9b0f182 on the emacs-25 branch.

Lars, I'd appreciate if you could eyeball the changeset and tell if I
broke some use case.  I couldn't wrap my head around the code there
that decoded stuff (like encoding with UTF-8 and then decoding with
something that must NOT be UTF-8 -- how can that do anything useful?),
so I just rewrote that as best I could.  If I broke something, please
show the broken use case, and I will look into it.

Thanks.
