[issue3187] os.listdir can return byte strings

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

Martin, can you check in your changes to add sys.setfilesystemencoding()?

I will check in Victor's changes (with some edits).

Together this means that the various suggested higher-level solutions
(like returning path-like objects, or some kind of roudtripping
almost-but-not-quite-utf-8 encoding) can be implemented in pure Python.
