bpo-34485: Enhance init_sys_streams() (GH-8978)
Python now gets the locale encoding with C code to initialize the encoding of standard streams like sys.stdout. Moreover, the encoding is now initialized to the Python codec name to get a normalized encoding name and to ensure that the codec is loaded. The change avoids importing _bootlocale and _locale modules at startup by default. When the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable only contains an encoding, the error handler is now is now set explicitly to "strict". Rename also get_default_standard_stream_error_handler() to get_stdio_errors(). Reduce the buffer to format the "cpXXX" string (Windows locale encoding).
