Subject: [PATCH] [WAV] Decode iXML as UTF-8

The iXML chunk in BWF/WAV files is specified as UTF-8 (per the EBU
Tech 3285 supplement and the iXML spec). The reader was constructing
the String without an encoding hint, which falls back to Latin-1 and
mangles any non-ASCII bytes (e.g. Unicode in <NOTE>, <PROJECT>, or
<TRACK_LIST> entries written by Sound Devices, Zaxcom, etc.).
