* 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 ***
