1.0.32.23: use :replacement in the external format for standard IO streams

For *terminal-io*, a bidirectional stream, we have to make an arbitrary
choice on Windows, where in theory the input and output code pages can
differ.  We arbitrarily choose the output format; I have no idea whether
this matters.

+    ** improvement: the file streams underlying the standard streams (such as
+       *STANDARD-INPUT*, *TERMINAL-IO*) are opened with an external format 
+       which uses the replacement mechanism to handle encoding errors,
+       preventing various infinite error chains and unrecoverable I/O
+       confusion.
     ** minor incompatible change: the utf-8 external format now correctly
        refuses to encode Lisp characters in the surrogate range (char-codes
        between #xd800 and #xdfff).
