Remove LegacyCodec

Volker Krause requested to merge work/vkrause/remove-legacy-codec into master

This used to override the built-in UTF-8 codec (!) with an alternative version that was more fault-tolerant to mis-encoded local file names. This however has no effect now that QTextCodec isn't used by QFile anymore, and there is no such mechanism for an external codec override anymore.

Should the original problem still exist, this would need to be addressed inside Qt.
