[issue21789] Broken link to PEP 263 in Python 2.7 error message

New submission from Jan Varho:

When trying to run a file with non-ASCII symbols without declaring an encoding, python 2.7 gives the following error:

  File "foo.py", line 2
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file fo.py on line 2, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

That link is broken, however. The attached patch fixes the link.

Python 3 (.4) has the correct link already.
