#1191: dabo uses utf-8 instead of cp1252 as default encoding on Windows

The default encoding on Windows is actually cp1252, but dabo uses utf-8
instead. Under Linux, the default encoding could also be something
different, in which case the same problem appears here as well.
This happens because dabo uses getlocale() to determine the default
encoding (in several places), but getlocale() usually returns None and so
dabo falls back to a hardcoded default of 'utf-8' which is not appropriate
under Windows for example.
Instead (or in addition, if getlocale() returns None), it may be better to
use getdefaultlocale()or getpreferredencoding() which correctly returns
'cp1252' on Win.
