Those function have been in the public API since we introduced
Unicode callbak error handlers.

It was an oversight that these were not documented in the Python
documentation. They have been documented part of the unicodeobject.h
ever since they were introduced.

Note that these APIs are needed by codecs supporting the
callback error handlers, and since performance matters a lot
for codecs, the C APIs were introduced.
