[issue21047] html.parser.HTMLParser: convert_charrefs should become True by default

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis:

Follow-up to issue #13633.

Lib/html/parser.py still has:

if convert_charrefs is _default_sentinel:
    convert_charrefs = False  # default
    warnings.warn("The value of convert_charrefs will become True in "
                  "3.5. You are encouraged to set the value explicitly.",
                  DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
