[IronPython] codecs module in Silverlight

[Dino Viehland]

You could do:

import _codecs
def lookup_error(name):
    raise LookupError('unknown error handler')
_codecs.lookup_error = lookup_error


This looks like we've just overly aggressively disabled some functionality
in Silverlight.  Maybe it used to depend upon something that wasn't available
but it doesn't look like it does anymore.  I've opened a bug:

It should be trivial to fix.
