Issue #4705: Fix the -u ("unbuffered binary stdout and stderr") command-line
flag to work properly. Furthermore, when specifying -u, the text stdout
and stderr streams have line-by-line buffering enabled (the default being
to buffer arbitrary chunks of data). Patch by Victor Stinner, test by me.

- The internal table, _PyLong_DigitValue, is now an array of unsigned chars
instead of ints (reducing its size from 4 to 8 times thereby reducing
Python's overall memory).
