slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch

executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format
