[issue28701] Replace PyUnicode_CompareWithASCIIString with _PyUnicode_EqualToASCIIString

Stefan Krah added the comment:

For the record: This is all that happened in decimal if a) you
pass a legacy string and b) force _PyUnicode_Ready() to throw
a MemoryError:

>>> from decimal import *
>>> import _testcapi
>>> context = Context()
>>> traps = _testcapi.unicode_legacy_string('traps')
>>> getattr(context, traps)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError



Both a) and b) are not trivial to accomplish at all and the result
is completely benign.
