description:
Removed legacy charset directive from default config example.

The example configuration previously specified 'charset koi8-r',
which is a legacy Cyrillic encoding.  As koi8-r is rarely used today
and modern browsers handle UTF-8 by default, specifying the charset
explicitly is unnecessary.  Removing the directive keeps the example
configuration concise and aligned with current best practices.
