Zowe Explorer v2 & v3: Should always prioritize encoding specified in profile #3504

This most likely also relevant for: #3410

Describe the bug

In Zowe Explorer v2 and v3, when opening a job it will not use the encoding specified in the profile. In V3 an option to "Open with encoding" was added where you can select the encoding from the profile. But why? We specified the encoding option to always ensure that the files opened will use our encoding. This seems to be a problem in more code page related issues.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open a job output with ÆØÅ characters and see that the code page is wrong. Now "Open with encoding" and use the profile encoding and see that the code page is correct.

Expected behavior

The encoding specified in the profile should always be the first priority even if the file meta data says otherwise.
