Because there are many lang\_COUNTRY.UTF-8 locales:
ja\_JP.UTF-8, zh\_TW.UTF-8, fr\_FR.UTF-8, etc...

If only en\_US.UTF-8 should use surrogateescape, it may make confusing situation
like: "This script works in English Linux desktop, but doesn't work in
Japanese Linux
desktop!"

I accepted PEP 540\. So even if failed to coerce locale, it is better
than Python 3.6.
