#19449: Handle non-string keys when generating 'fieldnames' error.

csv was handling non-string keys fine except for the error message
generated when a non-string key was not in 'fieldnames'.

Fix by Tomas Grahn, full patch-with-test by Vajrasky Kok (tweaked slightly).

   on a system with SO_REUSEPORT defined in the headers but run on a system
