Use _PyUnicode_Writer only after ascii_decode is failed.

$ ./python -m pyperf timeit --compare-to=./python-master -s 'b=b"foo"' -- 'b.decode()'
python-master: ..................... 83.3 ns +- 1.2 ns
python: ..................... 72.4 ns +- 1.1 ns

Mean +- std dev: [python-master] 83.3 ns +- 1.2 ns -> [python] 72.4 ns +- 1.1 ns: 1.15x faster (-13%)

PyUnicode_FromString("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");: about 38ns -> 28ns

`_PyUnicode_Writer` is a relatively complex structure.  Initializing it is significant overhead when decoding short ASCII string.
