Backported issues #19619: encode() and decode() methods and constructors
of str, unicode and bytearray classes now emit deprecation warning for known
non-text encodings when Python is ran with the -3 option.
Backported issues #20404: io.TextIOWrapper (and hence io.open()) now uses the
internal codec marking system added to emit deprecation warning for known non-text
encodings at stream construction time when Python is ran with the -3 option.

This commit also adds a few tests, where they were lacking for concerned
