"Ensure that chr() cannot create invalidly-encoded values (Andrew)

In UTF8-encoded databases the argument of chr() is now treated as a
Unicode code point. In other multi-byte encodings chr()'s argument must
designate a 7-bit ASCII character. Zero is no longer accepted. ascii()
has been adjusted to match."
