tarfile is now able to read and write pax headers with a
"hdrcharset=BINARY" record. This record was introduced in
POSIX.1-2008 as a method to store unencoded binary strings that
cannot be translated to UTF-8. In practice, this is just a workaround
that allows a tar implementation to store filenames that do not
comply with the current filesystem encoding and thus cannot be
decoded correctly.
Additionally, tarfile works around a bug in current versions of GNU
tar: undecodable filenames are stored as-is in a pax header without a
"hdrcharset" record being added. Technically, these headers are
invalid, but tarfile manages to read them correctly anyway.
object to Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding with the "surrogateescape" error
handler, return a bytes object. If Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is not set,
fall back to UTF-8.
failure. Set the file system encoding to utf-8 (instead of None) if getting
the locale encoding failed, or if nl_langinfo(CODESET) function is missing.
* Add paragraph titles to c-api/unicode.rst.
* Fix PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault*() comment: it now uses the "surrogateescape"
error handler (and not "replace")
* Remove "The function is intended to be used for paths and file names only
during bootstrapping process where the codecs are not set up." from
PyUnicode_FSConverter() comment: it is used after the bootstrapping and for
other purposes than file names

Doc: replace PEP xxx by :pep:`xxx` to create a link on the PEP
........
I've removed the hopeful note about a future higher-level module since
it's been in there for quite a long time and nothing of the sort has
come up. There are a few places where markup was added to cross-reference
other sections, and many of the external links have been removed and now
point to newly created sections containing previously undocumented
information.
The Value Types section was created and it's contents were taken from
a function-specific area, since it applies to more than just that
function. It fits in better with the other newly documented constants.

Create os.environb mapping and os.getenvb() function, os.unsetenv() encodes str
argument to the file system encoding with the surrogateescape error handler
(instead of utf8/strict) and accepts bytes, and posix.environ keys and values
are bytes.
