encoding: default ambiguous character to narrow

The current implementation of colwidth was treating 'A'mbiguous
characters as wide, which was incorrect in a non-East Asian context.
As per http://unicode.org/reports/tr11/#Recommendations, we should
instead default to 'narrow' if we don't know better. As character
width is dependent on the particular font used and we have no idea
what fonts are in use, this recommendation applies.

This introduces HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS to get the old behavior back.

    On darwin, getpreferredencoding ignores the locale environment and
    always returns mac-roman. http://bugs.python.org/issue6202 fixes this
    for Python 2.7 and up. This is the same corrected code for earlier
    Python versions.

    However, we can't use a version check for this method, as some distributions
    patch Python to fix this. Instead, we use it as a 'fixer' for the mac-roman
    encoding, as it is unlikely that this encoding is the actually expected.
