child_process: fix exec set stdout.setEncoding

cp.exec decide to use `_stdout`(_stdout is string) or
`Buffer.concat(_stdout)`(_stdout is buffer array) by options.encoding.
but std(out|err) encoding can be changed. If encoding is changed to
not null, `_stdout` will become string, and `Buffer.concat(_stdout)`
will throw TypeError. This patch will fix it, use
options.encoding and `std(out|err)._readableState.encoding`.
