VSCode Version: 1.5.2
OS Version: Windows 10 1607 64bit

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a file which is not encoded in UTF-8(etc, contains Chinese characters, encoded in GBK)
the Chinese characters are not displayed correctly.
Reopen with encoding, and choose Chinese(GBK), the Chinese characters are displayed correctly.

I hope VSCode can auto detect the file encoding when opening, and open with the correct encoding, not need to reopen with correct encoding manually.

Thank you.
