CP857 is missing in supported document encodings

[ssg]

Type: Bug

CP857 was the most popular encoding used in Turkey until the 2000's and many legacy projects still use it. It's currently missing in available document encodings. It looks like an unintentional omission to me as the same codepage is supported in Terminal, but not in documents.
