 Use builtin ISO 8859-1 decoder in mkTextEncoding

 We already do this for UTF8/16/32, so it seems obvious do the same
 for the closely related popular ISO 8859-1 encoding, and avoid iconv
 issues on some platforms (such as AIX which which bundles a broken
 `libiconv` by default)

 This fixes #11096
