[issue9593] utf8 codec readlines error after "\x85 "

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

U+0085 corresponds to a line terminator (*). and codecs.open() observes this convention.
Do note that the new io.open() (or the built-in open() in 3.x) only recognizes '\r' and '\n' as line separators.

In any case, changing this behaviour would break compatibility, therefore I'm rejecting the issue.
