The performance of the UTF-7 codec is not important. Unlikely to other UTF-* encodings this is not standard Unicode encoding. It is used in minority of applications and unlikely is a bottleneck. It is rather in the line of idna and punycode than UTF-8 and UTF-32. Actually I'm going to propose replacing it with Python implementation.

This encoder was omitted form _PyBytesWriter-using optimizations for purpose. The patch complicates the implementation. Since the codec is rarely used some bugs lived long time in it. Any change risks to add new long living bug.
