[issue37335] Add 646 ASCII alias to locale coercion tests.

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at redhat.com> added the comment:

test_c_locale_coerce should use "codecs.lookup(encoding).name" to get the normalized name of an encoding, rather than fragile:

        data = data.replace(b"ANSI_X3.4-1968", b"ascii")
        data = data.replace(b"US-ASCII", b"ascii")

the proposed pattern is even more dangerous:

         data = data.replace(b"646", b"ascii")

I'm not sure where encodings should be normalized. Maybe around _check_child_encoding_details().

For the PR, please write it for the master branch.
