Reading UTF-16 text file with module 'codecs' fails, if surrogate pair is located at 72-character boundary.

Attached python script fails with message:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf16' codec can't decode bytes in position 70-71: unexpected end of data

The reason is splitting of input data for readline() into chunks, namely
  readsize = size or 72

The utf16 incremental codec does not like incomplete surrogate pairs.
Patch attached.
I also plan to refactor all the test_partial() functions of test_codecs, to give them a common implementation.

In issue14624 utf-16 decoder has been significantly reworked. Here is adapted for 3.3 patch.
