The encoding_list parameter was once used to allow us to plumb through
the list of possible encodings for files shown in the diff viewer. This
list is now computed elsewhere, but we kept the old parameters for
compatibility, with a deprecation warning. This change removes those now
that the deprecation cycle is complete.

Ran unit tests.

Can you add a "Version Changed" noting the removal?

    Feeling like we should keep the 4.0 info and add a new block for 5.0, to keep that history. But I'm not sure. If not, then maybe update the 5.0 info to say this was deprecated in 4.0.

    We haven't really gone a round on both deprecation-then-removal cycles with the version info in the description. What do you think?

    1. I'm fine leaving it.
