* generic/tclEncoding.c: Use "iso8859-1" and not "identity"
as the default and original [encoding system] value. Since "iso8859-1" is built in to the C source code for Tcl now, there's no availability issue, and it has the good feature of "identity" that we must have ("bytes in" == "bytes out") without the bad feature of "identity" ("broken as designed") that makes us want to abandon it. [RFE 2008609] *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY for older releases of Tclkit and any other code expecting a particular value for Tcl's default system encoding ***
