Force all mercurial commands to use UTF-8 encoding

Summary:
When non-ascii characters appear in revision titles/summaries the `patch` and `diff` (to update) commands will fail on Windows systems. This often occurs due to “smart quotes” or "em—dash" characters being inserted into commit messages by editors on "user-friendly" operating systems like macOS.

This can be worked around by forcing all mercurial commands to use the global option `--encoding utf-8` which applies for any mercurial command. This option was [[ https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/a88e02081a88 | added in ~2006 ]] so this should work across all supported versions of mercurial.

Refs T13649

Test Plan:
I created a diff on a mercurial repository using smart quotes in the "Title" and "Summary" fields as well as in the content of a file being changed. Then on macOS, Windows (PowerShell), and Windows (cmd.exe) I was able to `patch` down the revision, make a modification, and `diff` the change back up to Phabricator, as well as `land` the change. I verified the commit and content looked correct on macOS as well as on Windows by using `nvim` which seems to properly detect and render the encoding, whereas mercurial displays the smart quotes and em-dashes with odd characters instead.

I did a grep through Arcanist codebase to find other places where `--encoding` might be specified for mercurial commands and could not find any. In the event that somehow this argument is added elsewhere I verified that multiple specifications of `--encoding utf-8` does not cause any issues and the later specification of `--encoding` appears to "win".

```lang=console
$ hg --encoding utf-8 --encoding utf-8 log -r tip
# prints out results in UTF-8 without issue

$ hg --encoding utf-8 log --encoding latin-1 -r tip
# prints out results in latin-1 without issue
```
