[issue15278] UnicodeDecodeError when readline in codecs.py

Since Python 2.6+, you can use io.open() which uses the new io library. The io library uses TextIOWrapper which uses incremental encoder and decoder and so handles multibyte encodings correctly (as UTF-16).

Said differently, this issue is already fixed in the io library.

It remembers me that I should propose again my PEP 400 :-)
