[New-bugs-announce] [issue28511] Use the "U" format for parsing Unicode object arg in PyArg_Parse*

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Proposed patch uses the "U" format in PyArg_Parse* functions instead of the "O!" format with &PyUnicode_Type argument. This makes code cleaner, faster, and allows to remove additional PyUnicode_READY checks.

The patch is inspired by the patch of Xiang Zhang (issue28504).
