The ubiquitous use of UTF-8 is one of the few clear successes in the

In 2019, most software projects should declare that all their source files
are encoded in UTF-8, not US-ASCII.

Please review this patch to make explicit use of the UTF-8 charset in
build tools' IO code.

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.
