Firefox ended up not following the plan from bug 16862 comment 18. Its gbk
decoder is identical to its gb18030 decoder, but its gbk encoder per
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=951691 is distinct.

So we should probably bring the gbk encoder back. When fixing this we should
pay attention to the EURO sign and PUA code points. See

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=951691#c16
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=951691#c19

Having said that, if other browsers meanwhile converged on not having a
distinct gbk encoder, perhaps Firefox should revisit its approach. Input
welcome.
