Change the semantics of "return" in generators, as discussed on the

Iterators list and Python-Dev; e.g., these all pass now:

def g1():
    try:
        return
    except:
        yield 1
assert list(g1()) == []

def g2():
    try:
        return
    finally:
        yield 1
assert list(g2()) == [1]

def g3():
    for i in range(3):
        yield None
    yield None
assert list(g3()) == [None] * 4

compile.c:  compile_funcdef and com_return_stmt:  Just van Rossum's patch
to compile the same code for "return" regardless of function type (this
goes back to the previous scheme of returning Py_None).

ceval.c:  gen_iternext:  take a return (but not a yield) of Py_None as
meaning the generator is exhausted.
