[issue9632] Remove sys.setfilesystemencoding()

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

While you're right that adjusting the FS encoding long after Python has already started is probably not such a good idea, I do think that we need to provide a way to set the FS encoding from within Python without having to rely on external settings.

Think of e.g. embedded Python interpreters or py2exe-style applications running on Linux or other systems that don't use Unicode APIs for FS-interaction or have fixed FS-encodings.
