encoding issues with serializer, samples, and test harness

There are several encoding-related issues:

For a specific few encoding java-name/mime-name pairs, there are non-unique 
java-names. Propose to modify the Encodings.properties file format to account 
for this.

The test harness outputs results in the system's default encoding. On non-ASCII 
systems, this causes the tests to fail. Propose to modify harness to force UTF-
8 output.

On non-ASCII systems, samples output combinations of different encodings. 
Propose to force samples output into system's default encoding.
