I agree that we should remove the plpython_unicode_2.out expected file
since none of the other expected files support 2.2.

I would also support dropping 2.2 support at the source code level. It
would only save a few lines of compatibility code, but we can't support
everything forever, and I think it'd be better to draw a clear line than
maintaining the current state of works-but-no-test-support.
