[issue7649] "u'%c' % char" broken for chars in range '\x80'-'\xFF'

Indeed some comments would be helpful, I'll add them.
I also tried already to reuse 's' and extract the first char using unicode_getitem, but it returns a PyObject and anyway it's probably more expensive/complicated than calling PyString_AS_STRING again. I'll try with [0] and/or with PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize and make a new patch this afternoon.
