Close #11022: TextIOWrapper doesn't call locale.setlocale() anymore

open() and io.TextIOWrapper are now calling locale.getpreferredencoding(False)
instead of locale.getpreferredencoding() in text mode if the encoding is not
specified. Don't change temporary the locale encoding using locale.setlocale(),
use the current locale encoding instead of the user preferred encoding.

Explain also in open() documentation that locale.getpreferredencoding(False) is
called if the encoding is not specified.
