Bug #13874: String#valid_encoding? has side effects
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13874#change-66580

* Author: ojundt (Oliver Jundt)

* ruby -v: ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-darwin16]
* Backport: 2.2: REQUIRED, 2.3: REQUIRED, 2.4: DONE
----------------------------------------
I noticed the result of `String#encode` changes after a call to `String#valid_encoding?`. Other side effects were not visible so far.

Based on the documentation and intuition I would expect `#valid_encoding?` to be an operation without side effects.

~~~ ruby
content = "\xE5".dup.force_encoding(Encoding::ASCII_8BIT)

content.encode(Encoding::UTF_8, Encoding::UTF_8, invalid: :replace, replace: '?')
=> "?"

content.valid_encoding?

content.encode(Encoding::UTF_8, Encoding::UTF_8, invalid: :replace, replace: '?')
=> "\xE5"
~~~
