[PATCH] Support MBCS for fspath() and checkcase()

I think fspath() is the first case of converting path, so there is no existing
right approach here.

fspath() would work well except using semi-problematic encoding
which has ASCII code in 2nd (or later) byte  (like shift_jis).
So I think one solution is saying: "do not use such a encoding,
or use win32mbcs for workaround with some limitation."

The limitation of using win32mbcs is actual path encoding and locale
should be match in any time because it does the coding conversion.
Also you cannot mix the encodings (I guess no one does so).

I don't have other idea yet.

# So please accept the patch.
