encoding: introduce tagging type for non-lossy non-ASCII string

This fixes the weird behavior of toutf8b(), which would convert a local
string back to UTF-8 *only if* it was lossy in the system encoding.

Before b7b26e54e37a "encoding: avoid localstr when a string can be encoded
losslessly (issue2763)", all local strings were wrapped by the localstr
class. I think this would justify the round-trip behavior of toutf8b().

ASCII strings are special-cased, so the cost of wrapping with safelocalstr
is negligible.
