A str subclass can override replace() and return a non-string while TextIOWrapper.write() translates newlines. The C implementation then treats the result as Unicode and can crash. Reject an invalid replacement with TypeError. Backport to 3.15 and 3.14; on 3.14, put the regression test in Lib/test/test_io.py.
(cherry picked from commit c6796a1)

Backport of #160191 to 3.14.

Move the two regression tests into 3.14's Lib/test/test_io.py.

Ran test_io on a free-threaded 3.14 build, including invalid replacement results and callbacks that change the stream state.
