Right. Will address it after this PR.

Changed it to use the boot layer `ServiceLoader.load(ModuleLayer.boot(), JdkConsoleProvider.class)`

Initially, I thought of having charset as an argument to the constructor but realized jline would delve into the platform and figure out the same encoding, so I omitted it. However now I realized that the user could specify the standard out encoding via the `stdout/err.encoding` system property. So I revived the charset argument, as in your suggestion.
