bpo-42236: Enhance init and encoding documentation (GH-23109) 

Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.

* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
  to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
  Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:

  * Document command line options and environment variables
  * Document default values.

* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
  handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
  PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.

.. _utf8-mode:
Python UTF-8 Mode
-----------------
.. versionadded:: 3.7
See :pep:`540` for more details.
The Python UTF-8 Mode ignores the :term:`locale encoding` and forces the usage
of the UTF-8 encoding:
* Use UTF-8 as the :term:`filesystem encoding <filesystem encoding and error
handler>`.
* :func:`sys.getfilesystemencoding()` returns ``'UTF-8'``.
* :func:`locale.getpreferredencoding()` returns ``'UTF-8'`` (the *do_setlocale*
argument has no effect).
* :data:`sys.stdin`, :data:`sys.stdout`, and :data:`sys.stderr` all use
UTF-8 as their text encoding, with the ``surrogateescape``
:ref:`error handler <error-handlers>` being enabled for :data:`sys.stdin`
and :data:`sys.stdout` (:data:`sys.stderr` continues to use
``backslashreplace`` as it does in the default locale-aware mode)
Note that the standard stream settings in UTF-8 mode can be overridden by
:envvar:`PYTHONIOENCODING` (just as they can be in the default locale-aware
mode).
As a consequence of the changes in those lower level APIs, other higher
level APIs also exhibit different default behaviours:
* Command line arguments, environment variables and filenames are decoded
to text using the UTF-8 encoding.
* :func:`os.fsdecode()` and :func:`os.fsencode()` use the UTF-8 encoding.
* :func:`open()`, :func:`io.open()`, and :func:`codecs.open()` use the UTF-8
encoding by default. However, they still use the strict error handler by
default so that attempting to open a binary file in text mode is likely
to raise an exception rather than producing nonsense data.
The :ref:`Python UTF-8 Mode <utf8-mode>` is enabled if the LC_CTYPE locale is
``C`` or ``POSIX`` at Python startup (see the :c:func:`PyConfig_Read`
function).
It can be enabled or disabled using the :option:`-X utf8 <-X>` command line
option and the :envvar:`PYTHONUTF8` environment variable.
If the :envvar:`PYTHONUTF8` environment variable is not set at all, then the
interpreter defaults to using the current locale settings, *unless* the current
locale is identified as a legacy ASCII-based locale (as described for
:envvar:`PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE`), and locale coercion is either disabled or
fails. In such legacy locales, the interpreter will default to enabling UTF-8
mode unless explicitly instructed not to do so.
The Python UTF-8 Mode can only be enabled at the Python startup. Its value
can be read from :data:`sys.flags.utf8_mode <sys.flags>`.

This means that:
* :func:`sys.getfilesystemencoding()` returns ``'UTF-8'`` (the locale

level APIs also exhibit different default behaviours:
* Command line arguments, environment variables and filenames are decoded
to text using the UTF-8 encoding.
* :func:`os.fsdecode()` and :func:`os.fsencode()` use the UTF-8 encoding.
* :func:`open()`, :func:`io.open()`, and :func:`codecs.open()` use the UTF-8
encoding by default. However, they still use the strict error handler by
default so that attempting to open a binary file in text mode is likely
to raise an exception rather than producing nonsense data.
Note that the standard stream settings in UTF-8 mode can be overridden by
:envvar:`PYTHONIOENCODING` (just as they can be in the default locale-aware
mode).
If set to ``0``, the interpreter runs in its default locale-aware mode.
If set to ``0``, disable the :ref:`Python UTF-8 Mode <utf8-mode>`.
Setting any other non-empty string causes an error during interpreter
initialisation.
If this environment variable is not set at all, then the interpreter defaults
to using the current locale settings, *unless* the current locale is
