epp: Make it possible to specify a default encoding
In the next commit, we will need a way to tell epp which the default encoding should be for files that have no encoding comment. We could add new open() and parse_file() functions with one extra argument for the encoding, but there are already too many variants. To avoid having to add an additional argument to epp:open() and epp:parse_file() each time new options are needed, introduce epp:open/1 and epp:parse_file/2 that takes a property list with options. Also support the new 'default_encoding' option for specifying the default encoding for source files. Thanks to Richard Carlsson for the idea and the implementation of the new functionality in epp.erl.
