[issue15216] Support setting the encoding on a text stream after creation

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Just reviewed Victor's patch - aside from a trivial typo and not covering the C implementation or documentation yet, it looks good to me. Most importantly, the tests in that patch could be used to validate a C implementation as well.

I'll see if I can find anyone interested in creating a patch for the C io implementation, otherwise we can postpone the addition until 3.5.
