Replace lots of assert_(x == y) with assertEqual(x, y).

The chief benefit of this change is that requests will now use
HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0.  Bump the module version number as part
of the change.

There are two possible incompatibilities that we'll need to watch out
for when we get to an alpha release.  We may get a different class of
exceptions out of httplib, and the do_open() method changed its
signature.  The latter is only important if anyone actually subclasses
AbstractHTTPHandler.

SF feature request #801847.
Original patch is written by Sean Reifschneider.

Keep close() methods for backwards compatibility.

Does any call close() explicitly?

"read until end of line ('\n') or EOF" will be treated literally.
Fixes SF bug #860155.

John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).

The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:

http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)

In addition to the usual

http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"

Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all.  Need to fix this.

Add a bunch of new tests.  It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.

mistake in his code, I'm adding a note explaining that you should call
settimeout() before connect().

* Use Py_RETURN_NONE everywhere.
* Fix-up the firstpass check for the tp_print slot.

Simplifies and speeds-up the code.

* Used the flag to optimize set.__contains__(), dict.__contains__(),
  dict.__getitem__(), and list.__getitem__().

* show that it is typically used with sorted data,
* highlight commonalities with SQL's groupby and Unix's uniq,
* demonstrate valid uses for the default identity function,
* add some excitement by suggesting the range of possibilities.

Port test_md5.py to PyUnit.
