fast, and just cluttered the code.  Get rid of it for now.  If a compelling
case can be made for it, easy to restore it later.

descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type.  These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive.  Most methods will not
use either.  These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.

If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.

If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.

These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

better local_hostname default.  According to RFC 2821, it is
recommended that the fqdn hostname be provided in the EHLO/HELO verb
and if that can't be calculated, to use a domain literal.

The rationale for this change is documented in SF patch #497736 which
also had privacy concerns about leaking the fqdn in the EHLO/HELO.  We
decided this wasn't a big concern because no user data is leaked, and
the IP will always be leaked.  The local_hostname argument is provided
for those clients that are super paranoid.

Using localhost.localdomain may break some strict smtp servers so we
decided against using it as the default.
