Modehook only runs after the file is loaded so you can only recode the
buffer in memory. We could add more switches to modeline_hook2:

   { case "coding": ...              // this is already used by python
   { case "encoding": ...

from which we could call charset_convert_buffer_to_utf8.
If there is no modeline for encoding we could use a more
elaborate guess_charset() to detect the encoding of
the memory buffer and then call charset_convert_buffer_to_utf8.

guess_charset could also call XXX_guess_charset for specific modes
(tex_guess_charset, html_guess_charset, ...).
