[ruby/reline] @convert_meta is true unless 8-bit characters

If Reline::IOGate.encoding contains 7-bit characters, convert-meta will set it On.

>  The default is On, but readline will set it to Off if the locale contains eight-bit characters.

As far as I know, 7-bit encoding used in terminals is only US-ASCII.
