Issue #9632: Remove sys.setfilesystemencoding() function: use PYTHONFSENCODING

Browse source 
environment variable to set the filesystem encoding at Python startup.

reencode all filenames in all objects.

.. function:: setfilesystemencoding(enc)
Set the encoding used when converting Python strings to file names to *enc*.
By default, Python tries to determine the encoding it should use automatically
on Unix; on Windows, it avoids such conversion completely. This function can
be used when Python's determination of the encoding needs to be overwritten,
e.g. when not all file names on disk can be decoded using the encoding that
Python had chosen.
