bpo-34485, Windows: LC_CTYPE set to user preference (GH-8988)
On Windows, the LC_CTYPE is now set to the user preferred locale at startup: _Py_SetLocaleFromEnv(LC_CTYPE) is now called during the Python initialization. Previously, the LC_CTYPE locale was "C" at startup, but changed when calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") or setlocale(LC_ALL, ""). pymain_read_conf() now also calls _Py_SetLocaleFromEnv(LC_CTYPE) to behave as _Py_InitializeCore(). Moreover, it doesn't save/restore the LC_ALL anymore. On Windows, standard streams like sys.stdout now always use surrogateescape error handler by default (ignore the locale).
