Fix Fchar_syntax for non-ASCII in unibyte buffers

Fchar_syntax did not convert unibyte characters to multibyte when the
current buffer was unibyte, in contrast to `char-syntax` in
byte-compiled code (bug#53260).

* src/bytecode.c (exec_byte_code): Call out to Fchar_syntax;
the dynamic frequency is too low to justify inlining here, and it
did lead to implementations diverging.
* src/syntax.c (Fchar_syntax): Convert non-ASCII unibyte values to
multibyte.
* test/src/syntax-tests.el (syntax-char-syntax): New test.
