bpo-31900: Fix localeconv() encoding for LC_NUMERIC (#4174)
* Add _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() function: decode decimal_point and thousands_sep fields of localeconv() from the LC_NUMERIC encoding, rather than decoding from the LC_CTYPE encoding. * Modify locale.localeconv() and "n" formatter of str.format() (for int, float and complex to use _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() internally.

-------------------------
+* The :func:`locale.localeconv` function now sets temporarily the ``LC_CTYPE``
+ locale to the ``LC_NUMERIC`` locale in some cases.
+
* The ``asyncio.windows_utils.socketpair()`` function has been
removed: use directly :func:`socket.socketpair` which is available on all
platforms since Python 3.5 (before, it wasn't available on Windows).
