Set default coding system to undecided-dos.
(find-buffer-file-type-coding-system):
For writing, use buffer-file-coding-system if set, otherwise
buffer-file-type.
(find-file-not-found-set-buffer-file-coding-system):
Renamed from find-file-not-found-set-buffer-file-type.
Set buffer-file-coding-system as well as buffer-file-type.

+If COMMAND is `write-region', the coding system is chosen based upon
+the value of `buffer-file-coding-system' and `buffer-file-type'. If
+`buffer-file-coding-system' is non-nil, its value is used.  If it is
+nil and `buffer-file-type' is t, the coding system is `no-conversion'.
+Otherwise, it is `undecided-dos'.
+
+The two most common situations are when DOS and Unix files are read
+and written, and their names do not match in
+`untranslated-filesystem-list' and `file-name-buffer-file-type-alist'.
+In these cases, the coding system initially will be `undecided'.  As
+the file is read in the DOS case, the coding system will be changed to
+`undecided-dos' as CR/LFs are detected.  As the file is read in the
+Unix case, the coding system will be changed to `undecided-unix' as
+LFs are detected.  In both cases, `buffer-file-coding-system' will be
+set to the appropriate coding system, and the value of
+`buffer-file-coding-system' will be used when writing the file."
