encoding: add fast path of from/tolocal() for ASCII strings

This is micro optimization, but seems not bad since to/fromlocal() is called
lots of times and isasciistr() is cheap and simple.

We boldly assume that any non-ASCII characters have at least one 8-bit byte.
This isn't true for some email character sets (e.g. ISO-2022-JP and UTF-7),
but I believe no such encodings are used as a platform default. Shift_JIS,
a major crap, is okay as it should have a leading byte in 0x80-0xff range.
