[issue30410] Documentation for sys.stdout encoding does not reflect the new Windows behavior in Python 3.6+

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore:

The documentation for the encoding of sys.stdin/out/err (see https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/sys.html#sys.stdout) does not reflect the change in Python 3.6 on Windows to use the console Unicode APIs, and hence UTF-8 for the encoding.
