ASCII/surrogateescape codec is now used, instead of the locale encoding, to
decode the command line arguments. This change fixes inconsistencies with
os.fsencode() and os.fsdecode() because these operating systems announces an
ASCII locale encoding, whereas the ISO-8859-1 encoding is used in practice.

Issue #16485: Fix file descriptor not being closed if file header patching fails on closing of aifc file.

The code isn't exactly equivalent because a classmethod would
only make sense inside a chain class, and it would need "cls"
as a first argument, and it would need to return an instance
of "chain" rather than a generator.

The updated example drops the @classmethod decorator so that
it can be used standalone:  list(from_iterable(['abc', 'def']))
This should be communicate what from_iterable does.

This patch also provides a simple way to share tests going forward
between test_int and test_long.

When converting REG_DWORD registry values into Python, the conversion
needs to be made from an *unsigned* long (k instead of i) to match the
DWORD type.

When converting REG_DWORD registry values into Python ints, the conversion
needs to be made from an *unsigned* long to match the DWORD type.
