Title: make RDSE the default encoder for scalars

this creates a meta-class ScalarEncoder that provides (compatibility) constructor(s) for the "best scalar encoder"-implementation, should we want to change that in future again.

Today's `ScalarEncoder` is renamed to `SimpleScalarEncoder`.

TODO:
[ ] what to do about all the tests, that fail due to the different inner-workings of RDSE/(Simple)ScalarEncoder ?

Fixes: #1669
