Can we now remove wrap_codec_error()? And maybe more changes which were done to workaround issues with non-Unicode codecs. bytes.decode/str.encode should no more raise a TypeError with codecs of the Python standard library.

Also chain codec exceptions that allow weakrefs

The zlib and hex codecs throw custom exception types with
weakref support if the input type is valid, but the data
fails validation. Make sure the exception chaining in the
codec infrastructure can wrap those as well.

Close #17828: better handling of codec errors

- output type errors now redirect users to the type-neutral
  convenience functions in the codecs module
- stateless errors that occur during encoding and decoding
  will now be automatically wrapped in exceptions that give
  the name of the codec involved
