8356644: Update encoding declaration to UTF-8

[magicus]

A handful of html and xml files in the JDK source tree claims to have encodings like ISO-8859-1, when they are in fact pure US-ASCII files.

While perhaps technically correct, this is misleading, and goes contrary to the efforts of turning the source code into UTF-8 proper.

I chose between marking them as "ASCII" and "UTF-8", but chose the latter, since otherwise if they ever were to be updated with a non-ASCII character, the value would have been unspecified, and after JDK-8301971, all files in the JDK repository will be interpreted as UTF-8.

Changes to net-properties.html LGTM

[mrserb]

I believe this line is equivalent to simple <meta charset="utf-8"/> which is widely used in java.desktop's docs.

[magicus]

That seems reasonable, yes. However, I'd like to keep this change to the absolute minimum. Feel free to open a separate issue for fixing this.
