[issue20571] test_codecs currently failing on several Windows buildbots

[Larry Hastings]

New submission from Larry Hastings:

The Windows buildbots are currently broken due to a codec issue.  I populated the "nosy" list based on the "unicode" experts from the Experts Index.

test_streamreaderwriter (test.test_codecs.WithStmtTest) ... test test_codecs failed
ok
