 If your site is set to UTF-8, we should hide the blog_charset setting
 field. There is no reason to change it away from UTF-8, and doing so can
 break your content and possibly make your site insecure.

 This won't prevent it from changing via options.php — just hiding the
 primary UI.

 We need to keep in mind that "UTF-8" comes in a few forms, both with and
 without hyphens (also, case insensitivity). We will need to check those.

 Technically, this means we've removed an option from WordPress, so I
 reserve the right to add back one. :-)
