[issue4367] segmentation fault in ast_for_atom

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Yes, it's better to simply call str() on the exception. I was confused
by the fact that UnicodeError is a simple exception, with a single
message, unlike UnicodeDecodeError which has more attributes.

About the patch:
- The test does not work if test_ucn.py is run before: the unicodedata
module is imported only once on the first \N{} decoding. You could try
to run the test in a subprocess.

- In ast.c, errstr should be DECREF'd.
