  #8471: reset _SpoofOut.buf to an empty string when truncating; if Unicode had been output previously, it had been coerced to a Unicode string, potentially making subsequent prints behave differently or raise UnicodeErrors.

    #8198: the Helper class should not save the stdin and stdout objects

+Check that unicode output works:

+If we return unicode, SpoofOut's buf variable becomes automagically
+converted to unicode. This means all subsequent output becomes converted
+to unicode, and if the output contains non-ascii characters that failed.
+It used to be that this state change carried on between tests, meaning
+tests would fail if unicode has been output previously in the testrun.
