Changes (by igloo):

  * testcase:  => T6037
  * milestone:  7.6.2 => 7.8.1


Comment:

 I think that we want to do something along the lines of:
 {{{
 enc <- mkIconvEncoding TransliterateCodingFailure localeEncodingName
 hSetEncoding stdout enc
 hSetEncoding stderr enc
 }}}
 but that means using internal modules, doing different things on different
 platforms, etc.

 Instead: I think we should be able to just do:
 {{{
 hSetEncodingFailureMode stdout TransliterateCodingFailure
 hSetEncodingFailureMode stderr TransliterateCodingFailure
 }}}

 I've added a test.
