Problem: Various inconsistencies in test files.
Solution: Add modelines where they were missing. Use Check commands instead
of silently skipping over tests. Adjust indents and comments.

Problem: Using the system default encoding makes tests unpredictable.
Solution: Always use utf-8 or latin1 in the new style tests. Remove setting
encoding and scriptencoding where it is not needed.
