A handful of html and xml files in the JDK source tree claims to have encodings 
like `ISO-8859-1`, when they are in fact pure US-ASCII files.

While perhaps technically correct, this is misleading, and goes contrary to the 
efforts of turning the source code into UTF-8 proper.

I chose between marking them as "ASCII" and "UTF-8", but chose the latter, 
since otherwise if they ever were to be updated with a non-ASCII character, the 
value would have been unspecified, and after JDK-8301971, all files in the JDK 
repository will be interpreted as UTF-8.
