Summary: Out of bounds indizes in PEP293 callbacks

Initial Comment:
This patch changes the treatment of positions returned
by PEP293 error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of
the input and out of bounds positions result in an
IndexError. The patch also updates the PEP and includes
an explanation of this in the documentation for
codecs.register_error. I don't know if this is the best
spot for it, or if it should be put somewhere else.

... and I thought Unicode was the keyword ;-)

I fully trust Walter on the error handler callbacks, so I'll
pass it on to him.

Since this says "codec" I've assigned it to Marc-Andre. :-)

Marc-Andre, if you don't have time, feel free to unassign it.
