[codec] is moving to Java 6

[Gary Gregory <gg...@apache.org>]

Hi All:

I plan on moving [codec] to Java 6 to make use of APIs like
java.lang.String.getBytes(Charset) which will percolate up to some public
APIs so that you can pass in a Charset instead of a String.

The idea is to define Charset constants for the required encoding names
(see CharEncoding)

In [lang]-land, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-795
