Change coding cookie to use utf-8 (lowercase)

Provide a warning to users. Suggest using tox as an alternative generic
entry point.

Refs #1684

While perfectly valid, the encoding 'UTF-8' (uppercase) is not
recognized by the Emacs MULE system. As such, it displays the following
warning when opening a file with it used as an encoding cookie:

    Warning (mule): Invalid coding system ‘UTF-8’ is specified
    for the current buffer/file by the :coding tag.
    It is highly recommended to fix it before writing to a file.

Some discussion of this can be found at:

While the post does offer a workaround for Emacs users, rather than ask
all to implement it, use the more typical utf-8 (lowercase).
