After further reading about different encodings, it becomes clear that annoyingly the WHATWG group's names for some encodings to do not match the Python names, so I'm going to tweak this to more directly map what everyone has been asking for 😅 |

This PR adds a new
should_rename_legacyflag, so that people can opt into renaming legacy encodings according to the W3C offshoot WHATWG group's suggested mapping here. This should address long-standing complaint about us returninggb2312instead of at leastgbk, and things like that. One interesting side effect of this change is that they suggest mapping ASCII and ISO-8859-1 to Windows-1252, so we will return Windows-1252 a lot more often with this flag on.
