[SG16] format.string.std references to "Unicode encoding" unclear

In [format.string.std], the meaning of "Unicode encoding" added by P1868R2
is unclear. One interpretation of what was meant by "Unicode encoding" is
"UCS encoding scheme" (as defined by ISO/IEC 10646). Another interpretation
is an encoding scheme capable of encoding all UCS code points that have
been assigned to characters. Yet another interpretation is an encoding
scheme capable of encoding all UCS scalar values.
