[issue16143] Building with configure option "--without-doc-strings" crashes first time through PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

The deeper issue is that globals in unicodeobject.c are used before
they are initialized. So I thought that should be cleared up before
the next release.

Basically, strings are used as keys during type initializations
*before* _PyUnicode_Init() is called.
