Another important TODO: use weak references for the code objects list.

I tested my patch on Windows. I fixes #8988 because non-ASCII characters are 
now correctly decoded with mbcs and not UTF-8. But it doesn't work with 
characters not encodable to mbcs. It looks like there are some remaining code 
using byte string. I fixed some of them in import_unicode branch, but it's not 
enough.

It is not easy to investigate because Visual Studio refuse to compile the 
project if the project directory contains a character not encodable to mbcs. 
And it is unable to debug python if the project directory is renamed after the 
compilation. I will maybe retry with Cygwin or with the old school "printf" 
method.

It looks like few Windows applications support characters not encodable to mbcs 
(locale encoding): MinGW and WinSCP do neither support such characters.
