[issue2834] re.IGNORECASE not Unicode-ready

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Here is a preliminary patch which doesn't remove re.LOCALE, but adds
TypeError's for mistyped matchings, a ValueError when specifying
re.UNICODE with a bytes pattern, and implies re.UNICODE for unicode
patterns. The test suite runs fine after a few fixes.

It also includes the patch for #3231 ("re.compile fails with some bytes
patterns").
