Feeds: Avoid fatal error with empty blog_charset value.

After the SimplePie library was updated to version `1.8.0` in [59141], an edge case has been discovered where a fatal error can encountered if the `blog_charset` option is missing or empty.

In `fetch_feed()`, this option is retrieved using `get_option()` instead of `get_bloginfo( ‘charset’ )`. The latter will detect this scenario and apply a default value of `UTF-8` and is already used interchangeably throughout Core. This switches to `get_bloginfo( ‘charset’ )` instead to prevent this edge case.

Props david.binda, davidbaumwald, SergeyBiryukov, sabernhardt, azaozz, peterwilsoncc.
Fixes #62354.
