convert: when converting from Perforce use original local encoding by default

On Windows Perforce command line client uses default system locale to encode
output. Using 'latin_1' causes locale-specific characters to be replaced with
question marks. With this patch we will use default locale by default whilst
allowing to specify it explicity with 'convert.p4.encoding' config option.

This is a potentially breaking change for any scripts relying on output treated
as in 'latin_1' encoding.

Also because hgext.convert.convcmd overwrites detected default system locale
with UTF-8 we had to introduce an import cycle in hgext.convert.p4 to retrieve
originally detected encoding from hgext.convert.convcmd.

      specification as source. It will convert all files in the source to a flat
      Mercurial repository, ignoring labels, branches and integrations. Note
      that when a depot path is given you then usually should specify a target
      directory, because otherwise the target may be named "...-hg".
  
      It is possible to limit the amount of source history to be converted by
      specifying an initial Perforce revision:
  
      convert.p4.startrev
                    specify initial Perforce revision (a Perforce changelist
                    number).

      The following options can be set with "--config":
  
      convert.p4.encoding
                    specify the encoding to use when decoding standard output of
                    the Perforce command line tool. The default is default
                    system encoding.
      convert.p4.startrev
                    specify initial Perforce revision (a Perforce changelist
