Derived classes override this constructor.

Calls to this constructor from a derived class create an Encoding object that uses best-fit fallback for both encoding and decoding operations.

To control the fallback strategy for a class derived from Encoding, call the Encoding(Int32, EncoderFallback^, DecoderFallback^) constructor.
