Fwd: [1/2] logging-log4j2 git commit: LOG4J2-783 code cleanup: removed old/misleading reference to UTF-8 charset

Not quite right IMO, should be if charset == null then charset = Charset.defaultCharset ().

LOG4J2-783 code cleanup: removed old/misleading reference to UTF-8
charset

PatternLayout should and does use the platform default charset. The
createLayout() factory method specified UTF-8 as the default charset,
which is misleading and confusing for developers, so I removed the
default and added a comment.

This was not a real problem because XmlConfiguration uses
PatternLayout.Builder and not the factory method, so in reality the
platform default charset was correctly being used if no charset is
specified.

Posted by Remko Popma <re...@gmail.com>.
The Builder's charset field is already initialized to Charset.getDefault(),
so I thought we should only overwrite it with a non-null value.
