This prevents a very subtle bug caused by writing e.g. `bytearray('\xfd')`
which gives you `(0xc3, 0xbd)`.

If bytearray is constructed from str, a second argument of encoding is
required (in CPython), and third arg of Unicode error handling is allowed,
e.g.:
bytearray("str", "utf-8", "strict")
This is similar to bytes:
bytes("str", "utf-8", "strict")
This patch just allows to pass 2nd/3rd arguments to bytearray, but
doesn't try to validate them to not impact code size. (This is also
similar to how bytes constructor is handled, though it does a bit
more validation, e.g. check that in case of str arg, encoding argument
is passed.)
Behaviour of array initialisation is subtly different for bytes,
bytearray and array.array when argument has buffer protocol. This patch
gets us CPython conformant (except we allow initialisation of
array.array by buffer with length not a multiple of typecode).
