[issue8912] `make patchcheck` should check the whitespace of .c/.h files

[Alexander Belopolsky]

I opened issue9598 for the untabify bug.  For the purposes of source checking, I believe non-ascii characters should be disallowed in python C source code.  According to my understanding of C89 standard, interpretation of characters outside of the basic character set is implementation and locale dependent.
