Summary: Carbon.CF.CFString should require ASCII

Initial Comment:
If a Python string is passed where a CFString is expected the bytes are used verbatim (using CFStringCreateWithCString()), but this is probably wrong. We should either allow only ASCII or use sys.getdefaultencoding() or something similar.

This is a copy of PyObjC bug <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=114534&aid=681880&group_id=14534>.

You can strike the "probably". Although the rest of Python uses the default encoding, I think it's actually wise to just use ASCII and nudge them towards unicode.
