This property is automatically added by `decode-coding-string` when
the decoding is non trivial. It seems Gnus can save and restore text
properties without further modification, and at least this won't break
anything that is already working. Please let me know if this is an
unreliable behavior.

```
(decode-coding-string "\262\342\312\324" 'gbk)
;; ==> #("测试" 0 2 (charset chinese-gbk)) ;; "test" in Chinese

```

oops, I'm doing this wrong. I was meant to modify only where
`gnus-group-real-name' been called inside `gnus-int.el`.

Btw I figured it is not a good idea to do encoding in nntp.el because
the decoding was not done in nntp.el either.
