[issue16414] Add support.NONASCII to test non-ASCII characters

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Attached patch adds support.NONASCII to have a "portable" non-ASCII character that can be used to test non-ASCII strings. The patch uses it in some existing functions.

I wrote the patch on the default branch, we may start to use it since Python 3.2.
