  Update PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8 from RFC 2279 to RFC 3629.

  1) #8271: when a byte sequence is invalid, only the start byte and all the
     valid continuation bytes are now replaced by U+FFFD, instead of replacing
     the number of bytes specified by the start byte.
     See http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch03.pdf (pages 94-95);
  2) 5- and 6-bytes-long UTF-8 sequences are now considered invalid (no changes
     in behavior);
  3) Change the error messages "unexpected code byte" to "invalid start byte"
     and "invalid data" to "invalid continuation byte";
  4) Add an extensive set of tests in test_unicode;
  5) Fix test_codeccallbacks because it was failing after this change.
