Issue #11187: Remove bootstrap code (use ASCII) of
PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(), it was replaced by a better fallback (use
the locale encoding) in PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault().
Prepare also empty sections in NEWS.
types. Added a new API function, PyUnicode_TransformDecimalToASCII(),
which transforms non-ASCII decimal digits in a Unicode string to their
ASCII equivalents.
* Specify the default encoding: write 'utf-8' instead of
sys.getdefaultencoding(), because the default encoding is now constant
* Specify the default errors value
the locale encoding. If the LANG (and LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE) environment variable
is not set, the locale encoding is ISO-8859-1, whereas most programs (including
Python) expect UTF-8. Python already uses UTF-8 for the filesystem encoding and
to encode command line arguments on this OS.
_Py_char2wchar() callers usually need the result size in characters. Since it's
trivial to compute it in _Py_char2wchar() (O(1) whereas wcslen() is O(n)), add
an option to get it.
* PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault(), PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize() and
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() use the locale encoding instead of UTF-8 if
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL
* redecode_filenames() functions and _Py_code_object_list (issue #9630)
are no more needed: remove them
