git-gui: mark *.po files at any directory level as UTF-8
When a commit is viewed in Gitk that changes a file in po/glossary, the patch text shows mojibake instead of correctly decoded UTF-8 text. Gitk retrieves the encoding attribute to decide how to treat the bytes that make up the patch text. There is an attribute definition that all files are US-ASCII, and a later attribute definition overrides this. But the override, which specifies UTF-8, applies only to *.po files in directory po/ and does not apply to subdirectories. Widen the pattern to apply to all directory levels.
