crypto: remove DEFAULT_ENCODING

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/tniessen/crypto-remove-default-encoding into main

Citing 76b0bdf7 from 2012, "only use this as a temporary measure."

Getting or setting DEFAULT_ENCODING has emitted a warning ever since Node.js 10, so it seems appropriate to remove it in Node.js 20 five years later. The last Node.js version that did not emit a warning reached its end-of-life status at the end of 2019.

This commit only removes the public API so that the change can land in time for Node.js 20.
