On FreeBSD and Solaris, os.strerror() now always decode the byte
string from the current locale encoding, rather than using
ASCII/surrogateescape in some cases.
Changes:
* Add _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx() which has an
additional current_locale parameter.
* PyUnicode_DecodeLocale(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize() and
* PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() now always use the current locale
* encoding, instead of using Py_DecodeLocale()/Py_EncodeLocale().
* Document encoding in Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale()
documentations.
* Add USE_FORCE_ASCII define to not define
decode_ascii_surrogateescape() on Android.
* Add _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() function: decode decimal_point and
thousands_sep fields of localeconv() from the LC_NUMERIC encoding,
rather than decoding from the LC_CTYPE encoding.
* Modify locale.localeconv() and "n" formatter of str.format() (for
int, float and complex to use _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric()
internally.
