Returns a Python string object holding the UTF-16 encoded value of
the Unicode data.
If byteorder is not 0, output is written according to the following
byte order:
byteorder == -1: little endian
byteorder == 0: native byte order (writes a BOM mark)
byteorder == 1: big endian
If byteorder is 0, the output string will always start with the
Unicode BOM mark (U+FEFF). In the other two modes, no BOM mark is
prepended.
Note that Py_UNICODE data is being interpreted as UTF-16 reduced to
UCS-2. This trick makes it possible to add full UTF-16 capabilities
at a later point without compromising the APIs.
