Support for getting encoding from .cpg files

[karimbahgat]

Describe the feature request

Non-standard but commonly accepted cpg file that specifies which text encoding to use. Would make for more robust handling of files and special cases. Main problem is figuring out which strings are used to represent encodings, appears to be non-standard.

May want to support both read and write support for this.
