[issue4425] UTF7 encoding of slash (character 47) is incorrect

[Nick Barnes]

New submission from Nick Barnes <Nick.Barnes at pobox.com>:

'/'.encode('utf7') returns '+AC8-'.  It should return '/'.  See RFC 2152.

'/'.decode('utf7') raises an exception (this is a special case of a
general problem with UTF-7 decoding, which I will report as a separate bug).
