[2.7] closes bpo-31608: Fix a crash in methods of a subclass of _collections.deque with a bad __new__(). (GH-9179)

Python 2 never checked for I/O error when reading .py files and
thus could mistake an I/O error for EOF and create incorrect .pyc
files.
This adds an check for this and aborts on an error.

Sometimes some versions of the shared libraries that are part of the
traceback are compiled in optimised mode and the Program Counter (PC)
is not present, not allowing gdb to walk the frames back. When this
happens, the Python bindings of gdb raise an exception, making the
test impossible to succeed.

* Fix compiler warning in unicodeobject.c

Explicitly case to Py_UNICODE to fix the warning:

Objects\unicodeobject.c(4225): warning C4244: '=' :
conversion from 'long' to 'Py_UNICODE', possible loss of data

The downcast cannot overflow since we check that value <= 0x10ffff.
