fixuppandoc is notable because it reads generated files .. which presumably contain non-ASCII UTF-8 characters.

For the other files, it seems strange to force the use of a charset which is different from the charset of record for all our source files (i.e. US-ASCII).  I'm not saying that UTF-8 isn't a good choice, but it seems questionable to be inconsistent.

JDK-8065704 changed the platform default to US-ASCII, so the intended effect of 
this change is to address a regression and restore the typical earlier behavior.

My particular interest is in fixuppandoc, but it seems like we might has well 
patch all of this code to avoid relying on the platform default.
