Jason Rhinelander ee9296395d Call PyUnicode_DecodeUTF* directly
Some versions of Python 2.7 reportedly (#713) have issues with
PyUnicode_Decode being passed the encoding string, so just skip it
entirely by calling the PyUnicode_DecodeUTF* function directly.  This
will also be slightly more efficient by avoiding having to check the
encoding string, and (for python 2) going through the unicode class's
decode (python 3 fast-tracks this for all utf-{8,16,32} encodings;
python 2 only fast-tracked for the exact string "utf-8", which we
weren't passing anyway (we had "utf8")).

This doesn't work for PyPy, however: its `PyUnicode_DecodeUTF{8,16,32}`
appear rather broken: the UTF8 one segfaults, while the 16/32 require
recasting into a non-const `char *` (and might segfault; I didn't get
far enough to find out).  Just avoid the whole thing by keeping the
encoding-passed-as-string version for PyPy, which seems to work
reliably.
