config: abort early if the environment doesn't allow Python to pass Unicode strings to the file system layer

Dulwich passes unicode paths to the file system layer and it will thus not work
if run with LC_ALL=C ... which is quite common for services.

Also try to detect different cases and give helpful error messages about what
environment variable could be changed to what.
