[issue18059] Add multibyte encoding support to pyexpat

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

1) Expat itself responsible for this guard. It has all necessary information and provides an input of required size for custom converter.

2) Yes, this is a problem. I'm working on another approach, when full encoding table built at first request for the encoding (and than cache it). It makes decoding individual characters fast, but requires about 0.5 sec for initialization. Is such approach more suitable?
