bpo-31672: Fix string.Template accidentally matched non-ASCII identifiers (GH-3872)
Pattern `[a-z]` with `IGNORECASE` flag can match to some non-ASCII characters. Straightforward solution for this is using `IGNORECASE | ASCII` flag. But users may subclass `Template` and override only `idpattern`. So we want to avoid changing `Template.flags`. So this commit uses local flag `-i` for `idpattern` and change `[a-z]` to `[a-zA-Z]`.
