[issue8776] Bytes version of sys.argv

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

"no byte-oriented representation of the command line is readily available."

Why not using the following recipe?

 encoding = locale.getpreferredencoding()
 sys.argvb = [arg.decode(encoding, 'surrogateescape') for arg in argv]
