Jérome: slightly adjusted manually to just use range where it does not
make a significant difference (for example in test)

also str representation of unicode character is different.

page templates unicode resolver already takes care of coercing when
needed and this is directly compatible with python2 and python3

This only works on python2

for same reason as the xhtml_style version, there is no problem with
having more than one listbox, see d2dedca3 (core: remove useless log
in Base_callDialogMethod, 2020-07-03)

This prevents one failing test to make all subsequent tests to fail

this is removed from python3, it was not so useful here either

use sys.maxsize, see discussion on
nexedi/erp5!1751 (comment 203735)
