New charset IBM1153

[Xueming Shen]

No plan to add them yet. With the java.nio.charset.spi introduced into 
JDK since 1.4, developers and
third party vendors are encouraged to implement the new charsets 
themself via SPI, when those charsets
are not included in the JDK/JRE default chraset repository and they are 
needed in their business.
That said, we consantly consider the possibility of adding more charsets 
into the JDK/JRE default
repository, should need/request be justified.
