The assert statement `assert(Py_UNICODE_IS_SURROGATE(ch));` in _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape is wrong. Code points > 0xffff could reach it and fail.

LGTM. Thank you for your patch Xiang.

Since the crash can be caused by environment I consider it as a security issue (bot not critical) and applied the patch to 3.3 and 3.4.
