[issue8271] str.decode('utf8', 'replace') -- conformance with Unicode 5.2.0

The original bug should be fixed already in 3.3 and there should be tests (unless they got removed/skipped after we changed unicode implementation).
The only issue left was about the number of U+FFFD generated with invalid sequences in some cases.
My last patch has extensive tests for this, so you could try to apply it (or copy the tests) and see if they all pass.  FWIW this should be already fixed on PyPy.
