select-safe-coding-system is supposed to find a coding system
that's safe. If utf-8 is safe, then it should definitely be among the
ones that might be selected. We may want to make the selection among
the safe encodings more flexible (I recently pointed out that I want
to try utf-8 first when decoding but want to try latin-1 first when
encoding, for example), but it shouldn't be done indirectly by
making it impossible to save CJK chars into a utf-8 file.
I.e. for the same reason that unify-8859-on-encoding-mode has no reason
to ever be turned off, translation of CJK into utf-8 upon encoding should
never be turned off either.
