util: clarify purpose of MBTextWrapper class

It's easy to get confused and scared of an Unicode monster when
skimming through this code: document that this is really just
about column-counting.

    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.
