Summary: Allow any encodings other than latin-1 in interactive interp

Initial Comment:
Python interactive interpreter uses ISO-8859-1 for
parsing incoming codes from sys.stdin whatever
sys.stdin.encoding is.
This patch allows to use locale-aware encodings other
than ISO-8859-1 in interactive sessions.

eg.

Before:

>>> u'한글'  # (U+D55C, U+AE00)
u'\xc7\xd1\xb1\xdb'

After:

>>> u'한글'
u'\ud55c\uae00'


The attached sample implementation fall backs to
ISO-8859-1 for any non-memory errors such as
UnicodeDecodeError. So if you use ascii or iso-8859-1,
you'll not able to find difference. It intended to
affect to non-latin-1 encoding users.
