[issue9291] mimetypes initialization fails on Windows because of non-Latin characters in registry

[Michał Pasternak]

9291.patch works for me too, but I am unsure about its idea. Silently ignoring non-ASCII registry entries - does it sound like a good idea? Maybe. Is it pythonic? I doubt so. 

I don't exactly understand what 9291a.patch is doing. For me it does look like a re-iteration of the first patch. I have not tested it.
