I don't think UTF-8 mode should override os.device_encoding() on Windows.

UTF-8 mode can be used to ignore legacy locale encoding, and os.device_encoding() uses the locale encoding on Unix. So overriding it make sense.

But locale encoding and console cp are different on Windows. Users may want to know console cp even when they want to use UTF-8 by default for reading/writing text files.
