Add meta tag with charset information to application layout.
Previously, our default HTML would validate properly, but would generate a warning: it doesn't declare a character encoding. According to [the spec][encoding-spec], if you don't specify an encoding, a 7 step algorithm happens, with a toooon of sub-steps. Or, we could just actually specify it. Since everything else in Rails assumes UTF-8, we should make sure pages are served with that encoding too. This meta tag is the simplest way to accomplish this.
