[issue9580] os.confstr() doesn't decode result according to PEP 383

[David Watson]

David Watson <baikie at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The CS_PATH variable is a colon-separated list of directories ("the value for the PATH environment variable that finds all standard utilities"), so the file system encoding is certainly correct there.

I don't see any reference to an encoding in the POSIX spec for confstr().
