The non-ASCII tests only exercised what the runner's locale could encode (in practice UTF-8). Add 8-bit-encoding cases to the character and string I/O tests, each guarded by the existing encodability check: ASCII, a character common to the Latin encodings ('é'), and ones distinctive to a single encoding (byte 0xA4 is '¤' in ISO-8859-1, '€' in ISO-8859-15, 'є' in KOI8-U). Run the whole suite under different locales to cover them; unrepresentable cases skip.

Read each written character back with in_wch() or instr() rather than inch(), which on a wide build returns the low byte of the code point instead of the locale-encoded byte and so mangles a non-ASCII character of an 8-bit locale. This lets the int-argument cases cover '€'/'є', and adds matching coverage for the str argument.

insch() with an int byte > 127 is checked only for Latin-1: on a wide build ncurses winsch stores a printable byte directly as a code point instead of decoding it through the locale.
(cherry picked from commit 003d362)
