Update of .CL charset

[Hugo Salgado]

Since today the whois server whois.nic.cl for .CL domain names updated its format and now accepts UTF-8 for input and output.

Patch for 5.3.0 sources:

Symptom:
$ whois www.domain.cl

Invalid domain name: www.domain.cl

As it affects Debian just as much I also reported it there and linked the task here.

Fixed in 5.3.2

Change is:

I'm not entirely sure on potential regressions of this to consider an SRU for it.
Also it was found while discussing that actual .cl domains work already even without the update (it only is an issue on not founds)

Due to the unclear risk of regressions and the prove that it is working with existing domains I'll set the SRU tasks to Won't Fix for now unless there is a discussion clarifying why it is needed and no bug risk.

Thanks paelzer. gob.cl domain name its fine because it happens to be only ASCII content. You should try with a domain name with out-of-ascii content, like:

$ whois vulcano.cl
