Although the code path is different, the logic to determine the encoding is not changed, as `sun.stdout/err.encoding` are only set if the VM is invoked from a terminal (in fact, there's a bug where they aren't set even in a terminal on unix env, which I fixed in this patch) which is the same condition in which `System.console()` returns the console. And for both cases, it will default to `Charset.defaultCharset()` if they are not available.

Having said that, one regression test started to fail with this implementation change as follows:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: Locale provider adapter "CLDR"cannot be instantiated.

I haven't looked at it in detail but it seems that calling `System.console()` in `System.initPhase1()` is not allowed, as the module system is not there yet. So I reverted the implementation to the original and simply retained the description in `System.out/err` with a change to `determined by` to `equivalent to`.
