TASK DESCRIPTION As described in T95671, `pywikibot.config2` does issue a warning that the types have changed. The reason for the warning of `transliteration_target` looks straight forward. It is probably manually set in the user-config as a `str` (aka `bytes`) while the original value in the config2 module is `unicode`. But I'm not sure why the warning of `console_encoding` appears. It is read from `sys.stdout.encoding` which is `str` (even with `unicode_literals`) which would explain why it was `str` but if it changed type and the warning appears that would mean @Wesalius has set the encoding using `u'…'` which seems unlikely. Now to fix that we could do something similar like `int`/`float` handling so that if the type was `str` or `unicode` that it also expects the other type.
