[issue5414] asciibin.a2b_uu returns unexpected values on non ascii data

[David Majnemer]

New submission from David Majnemer <david.majnemer at gmail.com>:

Note that binascii.a2b_uu("\0") returns
'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'.
This appears to be the same as binascii.a2b_uu() which is most likely
not the intention.
Also, binascii.a2b_uu("\0\0") returns an exception, "Illegal char",
which makes sense.
