[issue18814] Add codecs.convert_surrogateescape to "clean" surrogate escaped strings

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Ah, Serhiy's approach of avoiding the encode/decode dance entirely is an even better idea - replacing the lone surrogates directly with the output of the alternative error handler avoids any need to worry about the original encoding.
