Issue #9632: Remove sys.setfilesystemencoding() function: use PYTHONFSENCODING
environment variable to set the filesystem encoding at Python startup. sys.setfilesystemencoding() creates inconsistencies because it is unable to reencode all filenames in all objects.

-.. function:: setfilesystemencoding(enc)
-
- Set the encoding used when converting Python strings to file names to *enc*.
- By default, Python tries to determine the encoding it should use automatically
- on Unix; on Windows, it avoids such conversion completely. This function can
- be used when Python's determination of the encoding needs to be overwritten,
- e.g. when not all file names on disk can be decoded using the encoding that
- Python had chosen.
