We could remove decimal.InvalidContext, which is completely unused
both in decimal.py and _decimal.

It's part of the specification, though.  For me, that's a good enough reason to keep it.

Okay, also it is easier to keep it. I was just busy with the exception
docs and found the InvalidContext situation slightly odd.

Of course, there is a very small chance that external software is
using it.
