[texhax] Detecting new UTF-8 input encoding default

[David Carlisle]

you shouldn't normally need to test for the new style as it is more of
less the same as
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

so in a new or old format utf8 processing is in effect  if this says UTF-8

\def\xxx{utf8}
\ifx\xxx\inputencodingname  UTF-8\else not\fi

similarly in an old or new format either inputencoding has not been
used, or it has been backed out with \UseInputEncodeing if this says
RAW

\ifx\undefined\inputencodingname  RAW\else not\fi
