#1623 Deprecated key used in desktop file

[Johan Swensson]

The SciTE.desktop file contains Encoding=UTF-8
This key is deprecated[1] and should probably be removed.

While this was deprecated in version 0.9.5 of the desktop entry specification, I couldn't find any information on the date of the deprecation. It is a required field in 0.9.3. Some SciTE users are on older long-term support distributions and I wouldn't want them to have difficulty updating their copy of SciTE.

Updating for 3.7.1:

$ desktop-file-validate gtk/SciTE.desktop 
gtk/SciTE.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
gtk/SciTE.desktop: hint: value item "TextEditor" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" can be extended with another category among the following categories: Utility
gtk/SciTE.desktop: warning: value "TextEditor;Development;GTK;Application;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"

[Neil Hodgson]

Fixed warnings with [7a9447] but hint remains as adding "Utility" leads to new hint:

SciTE.desktop: hint: value "TextEditor;Development;GTK;Utility" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains more than one main category; application might appear more than once in the application menu
