Python on Solaris doesn't handle non UTF-8 locales because of the way they are
encoded. The wchar_t encoding used for stored symbols is not standardized. While
on Linux symbols from all encodings will be mapped to their UTF-8 values, this
is not the case on Solaris, where only UTF-8 locales work like that; other
encodings can use any arbitrary value. Since Python expects no value to be
higher than the maximum valid code point in Unicode (which is U+10FFFF), it
breaks on Solaris when non UTF-8 locale is used. See bug 31790476.

To fix this, we have to convert given wchar_t to utf32 each time locale is not
UTF-8 encoded (or ASCII, which can safely be ignored).
