stijn a3efe04dce Use mode/encoding kwargs in io and unicode tests
mode argument is used to assert it works
encoding argument is used to make sure CPython uses the correct encoding
as it does not automatically use utf-8

Damien George 1694bc733d py: Add stream reading of n unicode chars; unicode support by default.
With unicode enabled, this patch allows reading a fixed number of
characters from text-mode streams; eg file.read(5) will read 5 unicode
chars, which can made of more than 5 bytes.

For an ASCII stream (ie no chars > 127) it only needs to do 1 read.  If
there are lots of non-ASCII chars in a stream, then it needs multiple
reads of the underlying object.

Adds a new test for this case.  Enables unicode support by default on
unix and stmhal ports.
