Langauge Specific file encoding setting #19890

Ability to set default file encoding on a per-language basis.

I have files for older programming languages that I need to open with Codepage 852 or 437 but I can't set the default file encoding on a per language basis. These files are not in self-contained repositories so setting a workspace-wide setting doesn't work, and for the most part everything else is UTF. I'd like to be able to add a setting in the language configuration to open a file with specific encoding by default and override the workspace ##default.
