Unimplemented functions in _codecs do not accept any parameters

[ironpythonbot]

The following functions in the _codecs module should accept at least one
string parameter:

• codecs.unicode_escape_encode
• codecs.unicode_escape_decode
• codecs.readbuffer_encode
• codecs.mbcs_encode
• codecs.mbcs_decode
• codecs.charbuffer_encode

They do not and the only way to tell that these functions have not been
implemented in IronPython is to call them without any parameters which throws
a NotImplementedError exception.

A NotImplementedError exception should be thrown when the correct number of
string parameters (i.e., 1 or 2) have been used and a TypeError exception
should be thrown when no parameters have been provided.
