TagString: remove ISO-Latin-1 fallback

MPD handles all strings in UTF-8 internally. Those decoders which read Latin-1 tags are supposed to implement the conversion, instead of passing Latin-1 to TagBuilder::AddItem(). FixTagString() is simply the wrong place to do that, and hard-coding Latin-1 is kind of arbitrary.
