Title: Default 'encoding'-option from latin to utf-8

Normally the default encoding does not have much effect, since it's
overridden by the environment.

But when it's not (test with "LANG= LC_ALL= C_CTYPE= nvim" and perform
":set encoding?"), utf-8 should be the default encoding for a 21st
century editor :).
