[TYPO3-core] declare(encoding='UTF-8'); in extension config files

Hi,

And I must say I agree here as I still don't get the point of having a
declare() statement in those files, please provide a use-case where it
really makes sense.

We may put restrictions in files such as ext_localconf.php and
ext_tables.php of what we support or not, please give us an example of
why it's worth having that.

Kind regards
