Updates to the with-statement:

- New semantics for __exit__() -- it must re-raise the exception
  if type is not None; the with-statement itself doesn't do this.
  (See the updated PEP for motivation.)

- Added context managers to:
  - file
  - thread.LockType
  - threading.{Lock,RLock,Condition,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore}
  - decimal.Context

- Added contextlib.py, which defines @contextmanager, nested(), closing().

- Unit tests all around; bot no docs yet.
