Provide an (initially experimental) implementation of the WHATWG Encoding
Standard API (`TextDecoder` and `TextEncoder`). The is the same API
implemented on the browser side.
By default, with small-icu, only the UTF-8, UTF-16le and UTF-16be decoders
are supported. With full-icu enabled, every encoding other than iso-8859-16
is supported.
This provides a basic test, but does not include the full web platform
tests. Note: many of the web platform tests for this would fail by default
because we ship with small-icu by default.
A process warning will be emitted on first use to indicate that the
API is still experimental. No runtime flag is required to use the
feature.

The modules in lib/internal are intended for internal use in Node.js core
only, and are not accessible with require() from user modules. These are
subject to change at any time. Reliance on these modules outside of core
is not supported in any way.
