[issue3574] compile() cannot decode Latin-1 source encodings

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

Actually, the tests don't have to change; if issue 3594 gets applied
then that change cascades into this issue and negates the need to change
the tests themselves.

As for treating Latin-1 as a raw encoding, how can that be theoretically
okay if the parser assumes UTF-8 and Latin-1 is not a superset of Latin-1?
