[issue18814] Add utilities to "clean" surrogate code points from strings

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I suggest we defer this one to 3.6 - I still think it's worth doing, but I don't think it's a major barrier to migration, and it would be good to get some real world experience with the new sys.stdin behaviour of defaulting to using surrogateescape in the POSIX locale in 3.5 before committing to a particular design for the surrogate cleaning API.

I do like the idea of a "string.internals" submodule as a possible home for exposing the Python level API.
