Add support for the "OPTS UTF8 ON" FTP Client command/parameter.

Beginning with Windows Server 2016, the Microsoft FTP Client includes the "OPTS UTF8 ON" command. The Sterling B2B Integrator FTP Server does not support this command, and returns a 501 error message. This "OPTS UTF8 ON" command is included in RFC 5797, the FTP Extension. So while it's not widely used, it's apparently a valid command.

What is your industry? Insurance
How will this idea be used?

This will enable successful use of the Windows Server FTP Client with the Sterling B2B Integrator FTP Server.
