Need to support valid charset strings for visual Hebrew.

Currently Mozilla supports "iso-8859-8-i"

This sample page, http://www.qsm.co.il/Hebrew/HebrewTest/MishneTora13.htm,
uses "iso-8859-8i"

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets lists:
"iso_8859-8-i" and "csiso88598i"
For "visual" read "logical" or "implicit" (that's what the i stands for).
The charset for visual Hebrew is iso-8859-8 without the i.

Whoops, yes the original comment should have said implicit/logical Hebrew.

But, we should generalize this bug for both visual and logical.  I suspect 
the same issues apply for visual.  We should make sure Mozilla supports the
appropriate charset strings for both visual and logical Hebrew.

Updated summary field to reflect this.
Summary: valid charset strings for visual Hebrew → valid charset strings for Hebrew
