Admin AJAX responses lack charset headers

Description

AJAX responses in admin don't send charset headers.

This is issue mostly for blogs using non–UTF encoding or more obscure and/or misconfigured browsers.

Some browsers inherit the pages' charset, some use preset defaults, some use UTF8, and this produces inconsistent results. Explicit headers should be present to avoid broken characters.

Basically a couple of
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset') );
and/or
header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset') );
is needed throughout the code in admin-ajax.php ...

I'll test a couple of cases to have a patch ready.

(I'm consolidating more bugs like #3633 + #4871 + #6693 here to fix them in one ticket. See them for further details.)
