[New-bugs-announce] [issue35365] Use wchar_t* buffer instead of Unicode object in code page decoder

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

Currently the code page decoder uses the legacy Unicode C API for creating an output buffer as a Unicode object with PyUnicode_WCHAR_KIND. Proposed PR makes it using a raw wchar_t* buffer.

This is necessary for deprecating and removing the legacy Unicode C API in future.
