[issue41152] IDLE: revise setting of iomenu.encoding and .errors

[Serhiy Storchaka]

I think it makes sense if we want to use the locale encoding for IO streams.

But on other hand, it may be worth to drop support of locale-depending and configurable IO encoding and always use UTF-8. It is the IO encoding always used on Windows and the encoding of most locales on modern Linux and macOS.
