[Patches] Py_BuildValue Unicode support

[Brian Hooper]

I just did "U" because I seem to remember seeing big "U" in
PyArg_ParseTuple.

Do you like the idea of having a version that can be used without
length as long as the input Unicode data is null-terminated?  From
the playing around that I have been doing up to this point, I think
this would be convenient to have.
