* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.
1. Non-ASCII bytes were accepted after shift sequence.
2. A low surrogate could be emitted in case of error in high surrogate.
3. In some circumstances the '\xfd' character was produced instead of the
replacement character '\ufffd' (due to a bug in _PyUnicodeWriter).

Issue #25227: Optimize ASCII and latin1 encoders with the ``surrogateescape``
error handler: the encoders are now up to 3 times as fast.
Initial patch written by Serhiy Storchaka.
ignore and replace. Initial patch written by Naoki Inada.
The decoder is now up to 60 times as fast for these error handlers.
Add also unit tests for the ASCII decoder.
This changes the equivalent functions listed for the Base-64, hex and Quoted-
Printable codecs to reflect the functions actually used. Also mention and
test the "quotetabs" setting for Quoted-Printable encoding.
- clarified the distinction between text encodings and other codecs
- clarified relationship with builtin open and the io module
- consolidated documentation of error handlers into one section
- clarified type constraints of some behaviours
- added tests for some of the new statements in the docs
