** put-u8 now always writes a single byte, regardless of the port encoding.
Previously, (put-u8 PORT OCTET) worked as expected only when writing to
binary ports, i.e. those with port encoding "ISO-8851-1". Strictly
speaking, this meets the requirements of the R6RS 'put-u8', which need
only support binary ports. However, Guile in fact allows binary I/O to
be performed on any port, and yet 'put-u8' behaved in a surprising way
with other port encodings: it would perform a _textual_ I/O operation,
writing the character with Unicode scalar value OCTET. Now, 'put-u8'
always writes a single byte with value OCTET, regardless of the port
encoding.
