Partially merge trunk into p3yk. The removal of Mac/Tools is confusing svn

merge in bad ways, so I'll have to merge that extra-carefully (probably manually.)

Merged revisions 46495-46605 via svnmerge from

  Quality control, meet exceptions.c.

  Fix a number of problems with the need for speed code:

  One is doing this sort of thing:

      Py_DECREF(self->field);
      self->field = newval;
      Py_INCREF(self->field);

  without being very sure that self->field doesn't start with a
  value that has a __del__, because that almost certainly can lead
  to segfaults.

  As self->args is constrained to be an exact tuple we may as well
  exploit this fact consistently.  This leads to quite a lot of
  simplification (and, hey, probably better performance).

  Add some error checking in places lacking it.

  Fix some rather strange indentation in the Unicode code.

  Delete some trailing whitespace.

  More to come, I haven't fixed all the reference leaks yet...

  Quality control, meet exceptions.c, round two.

  Make some functions that should have been static static.

  Fix a bunch of refleaks by fixing the definition of
  MiddlingExtendsException.

  Remove all the __new__ implementations apart from
  BaseException_new.  Rewrite most code that needs it to cope with
  NULL fields (such code could get excercised anyway, the
  __new__-removal just makes it more likely).  This involved
  editing the code for WindowsError, which I can't test.

  This fixes all the refleaks in at least the start of a regrtest
  -R :: run.

  ("Forward-port" of r46506)

  Remove various dependencies on dictionary order in the standard library
  tests, and one (clearly an oversight, potentially critical) in the
  standard library itself - base64.py.

  Remaining open issues:
   * test_extcall is an output test, messy to make robust
   * tarfile.py has a potential bug here, but I'm not familiar
     enough with this code.  Filed in as SF bug #1496501.
   * urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgr() returns a random result if there is more
     than one matching root path.  I'm asking python-dev for
     clarification...

  PyLong_FromString():  Continued fraction analysis (explained in
  a new comment) suggests there are almost certainly large input
  integers in all non-binary input bases for which one Python digit
  too few is initally allocated to hold the final result.  Instead
  of assert-failing when that happens, allocate more space.  Alas,
  I estimate it would take a few days to find a specific such case,
  so this isn't backed up by a new test (not to mention that such
  a case may take hours to run, since conversion time is quadratic
  in the number of digits, and preliminary attempts suggested that
  the smallest such inputs contain at least a million digits).

  [Bug #1473048]
  SimpleXMLRPCServer and DocXMLRPCServer don't look at
  the path of the HTTP request at all; you can POST or
  GET from / or /RPC2 or /blahblahblah with the same results.
  Security scanners that look for /cgi-bin/phf will therefore report
  lots of vulnerabilities.

  Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class,
  and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list.

  Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only
  '/' and '/RPC2' legal.  Maybe this will break people's applications
  (though I doubt it).  We could just set the default to an empty tuple,
  which would exactly match the current behaviour.

  Patch #1357836:

  Prevent an invalid memory read from test_coding in case the done flag is set.
  In that case, the loop isn't entered.  I wonder if rather than setting
  the done flag in the cases before the loop, if they should just exit early.

  This code looks like it should be refactored.

  Backport candidate (also the early break above if decoding_fgets fails)

  pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if
  the output required more than one line.  "Small" dicts got
  displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order
  produced by dict.__repr__).  None of this was documented.
  Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs
  promise it.

  This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core
  sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.
