Default character encoding to be UTF-8 for 9.0.x

[Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org>]

Servlet 4.0 adds the ability to set a default request character encoding
and a default response character encoding in web.xml and
programmatically. The spec allows containers to specify their own
defaults via vendor specific config. We can do this via conf/web.xml.

Therefore, I would like to propose we configure, via conf/web.xml, UTF-8
as the default request and default response character encoding.

Thoughts, comments and/or objections?

Mark

P.S. Because of the way this is implemented, we could do something
similar with 8.5.x as well via conf/context.xml

My two cents...
It would be great! The backport to 8.5 too

I always need to add some filter or some lines of code to every servlet.
