Work around AIX shell builtin printf not handling \NNN. On AIX, ksh builtin printf does not understand \NNN. Some tests use this to generate test data, and so fail on AIX. Rework these tests to use python to generate the correct characters. This fixes the tests on AIX and should be more generally portable.
