[issue39380] ftplib uses latin-1 as default encoding

Thanks again for the engagement.
I am also in favor of adding the encoding to the constructor. However, following Giampaolo's comment, that utf-8 is standard and has been for a long time (and the RFC dating back to year 1999), I am also in favor of changing the default encoding in the same PR. As mentioned in the previous comments, most users use ASCII and will not be affected by this anyway - which is probably also why this issue hasn't been raised before.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
