Netty codecs have "protected" method preventing easy reuse outside pipeline

[Abraham Menacherry]

Bruno,

I am not asking to make the existing protected method public, but to add a
new public method which does not take channel handler ctx parameter.

This in my opinion will provide the easiest re-use of Netty provided coders
outside a channel handler context. No need to make any additional classes
from user perspective.

For e.g. StringEncoder encoder = new StringEncoder()
ChannelBuffer buffer = encoder.encode("MyString");
Thanks,
Abraham.
