bpo-36443: Disable C locale coercion and UTF-8 Mode by default (GH-12589)
bpo-36443, bpo-36202: Since Python 3.7.0, calling Py_DecodeLocale()
before Py_Initialize() produces mojibake if the LC_CTYPE locale is
coerced and/or if the UTF-8 Mode is enabled by the user
configuration. This change fix the issue by disabling LC_CTYPE
coercion and UTF-8 Mode by default. They must now be enabled
explicitly (opt-in) using the new _Py_PreInitialize() API with
_PyPreConfig.
When embedding Python, set coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode attributes
of _PyPreConfig to -1 to enable automatically these parameters
depending on the LC_CTYPE locale, environment variables and command
line arguments
Alternative: Setting Py_UTF8Mode to 1 always explicitly enables the
UTF-8 Mode.
Changes:
* _PyPreConfig_INIT now sets coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode to 0 by
default.
* _Py_InitializeFromArgs() and _Py_InitializeFromWideArgs() can now
be called with config=NULL.
