[issue1342] Crash on Windows if Python runs from a directory with umlauts

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

I like to move _PyExc_Init() before _PySys_Init() and set sys.prefix,
exec_prefix and executable with PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault().

Without the changes Python is seg faulting on Windows when the path
contains non ASCII chars. With the patch it is failing with a fatal
error which is a tiny bit nicer.
