Fix pdftotext -htmlmeta to correctly output U+2019 in PDF metadata

pdftotext -htmlmeta is supposed to parse the PDF metadata and output it as HTML
metadata. It generally works, but fails when decoding U+2019 (right single
quotation mark).

This is because U+2019 may be encoded in PDF documents as 0x90, because the PDF
document encoding uses some of the reserved areas of ISO 8859-1. pdfinfo does
the right thing, so I have attached a patch which makes pdftotext use the same
approach as pdfinfo. pdftohtml has the same problem, but I haven't attempted to
fix this.
