[issue8622] Add PYTHONFSENCODING environment variable

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Oh, I realized that PYTHONFSENCODING is ignored on Windows and Mac OS X. r84201 and r84202 fix test_sys, and r84203 fixes the documentation and Python usage (hide PYTHONFSENCODING variable in Python help on Windows and Mac OS X).

We might allow to override the filesystem encoding on Windows, but I don't think that it is a good idea because third party libraries will use anyway the mbcs encoding.
