[issue2799] Remove PyUnicode_AsString(), rework PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize(), add PyUnicode_AsChar()

[Alexandre Vassalotti]

Alexandre Vassalotti <alexandre at peadrop.com> added the comment:

Honestly, I am not sure if removing PyUnicode_AsString() is a good idea.
There is many cases where the size of the returned string is not needed.
Furthermore, this would be a rather major backward-incompatible change
to be included in a beta release.
