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.
