[New-bugs-announce] [issue28561] Report surrogate characters range in utf8_encoder

[Xiang Zhang]

New submission from Xiang Zhang:

In utf8_encoder, when a codecs returns a string with non-ascii characters, it raises encodeerror but the start and end position are not perfect. This seems like an oversight during evolution. Before, utf8_encoder only recognize one surrogate character a time. After 2b5357b38366, it tries to recognize as much as possible a time. Patch also includes some cleanup.
