[issue21118] str.translate is absurdly slow in majority of use cases (takes up to 60x longer than similar functions)

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

> - drop optimizations for error handlers different than "ignore" because there is no unit tests for them, and str.translate() uses "ignore". It's safer to drop untested optimization.

It is unsafe to do such nontrivial modifications for untested code.
