Support encoding option for ftpfs
I am fetching data from a Windows FTP server, which contains some special characters.
Python built-in ftplib can use a different encoding: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ftplib.html#ftplib.FTP
class ftplib.FTP(host='', user='', passwd='', acct='', timeout=None, source_address=None, *, encoding='utf-8')¶
ftpfs does not take "encoding" as parameter:
https://github.com/PyFilesystem/pyfilesystem/blob/7dfe14ae6c3b9c53543c1c3890232d9f37579f34/fs/ftpfs.py#L1080
I propose to accept encoding as an optional parameter, which should then passed to the FTP constructor.
It would then be possible to connect to resources like: ftp://user:password@ftpserver/path?encoding=windows-1252
