For instance, "% iconv -l", lists these variants for
iso-8859-1:
"ISO-8859-1", "ISO88591" "8859_1", "ISO_8859-1"
The reading of coding system names could treat hyphens as optional,
and could treat underscores as equivalent to hyphens. Then
with just two names, iso-8859-1 and 8859-1, it would recognize
all of these and more.
In addition, we must add (partial) lowercase versions.
Partial means something like this: Iso ISo isO
That's trivial, just ignore case when reading the coding system name.
