Currently the descriptions of `URLEncoder.encode` and `URLDecoder.decode` don't 
specify their use of replacement bytes or replacement character when they 
cannot handle a character or sequence of bytes. This is longstanding behavior 
but needs to be documented.

**Solution**
- Added a new line to `URLEncoder.encode` API documentation to document that 
the charset's replacement bytes are used.

- Also changed `URLDecoder.decode` API documentation to document its use of the 
charset's replacement character, also changed some wording.

-------------

Commit messages:
 - specify that replacement bytes will be used in case of coding error
