Revert r85435 (and r85440): decode command line arguments from utf-8

Victor Stinner · Victor Stinner · commit 052a04d34a38 · 2010-10-13T23:24:06.000Z
Python exits with a fatal error if the command line contains an undecodable
argument. PyUnicode_FromString() fails at the first undecodable byte because it
calls the error handler, but error handlers are not ready before Python
initialization.
