Summary: mac_roman codec missing "apple" codepoint

Initial Comment:
The mac_roman codec is missing a single codepoint for
the trademarked Apple logo (0xF0 <=> 0xF8FF per Apple
docs), which prevents round-tripping of mac_roman text
through Unicode.  Adding the codepoint as a private
encoding (per Apple) has no trademark implications,
only the character itself, in a font, would have such
issues.

I'm using Python 2.3, but AFAICT it is an issue in
later Python versions as well.

The codepoint 0xF8FF is in the Private Use Area, so this is
not an official Unicode character, and for other uses 0xF8FF
might mean something completely different. So I think this
mapping shouldn't be added to mac_roman.
