The default character set on Android is UTF-8.  nsIPlatformCharset should return UTF-8 simply.

r=me, but I wonder if maybe it's time to just do this for nsUnixCharset.cpp as well.

Now, most Linux distribution and the latest version of UNIX (AIX and Solaris) are UTF8 as default platform charset, but it can change it to something such as Shift_JIS by user.   So we should not do it now.

But, if we only support UTF-8 as system charset of POSIX platform by Firefox.next (Thunderbird and SeaMonkey), it can use UTF-8 only version of nsIPlatformCharset.
