Hi,

There is a small bug in GB18030 decoder.

For 4-byte sequence, the legal range is:
0x81-0xFE for the 1st byte
0x30-0x39 for the 2nd byte
0x81-0xFE for the 3rd byte
0x30-0x39 for the 4th byte

The current code forgets to check 0xFE of the 1st and 3rd byte.
Therefore, there are 8630 illegal 4-byte sequences can be decoded by GB18030 codec, here is an example:

# legal sequence 0x81319130 is decoded to U+060A, it's fine.
b = bytes([0x81, 0x31, 0x81, 0x30])
uchar = b.decode('gb18030')
print(ord(uchar))

# illegal sequence 0x8130FF30 can be decoded to U+060A as well.
b = bytes([0x81, 0x30, 0xFF, 0x30])  
uchar = b.decode('gb18030')
print(ord(uchar))
