  #3720: Interpreter crashes when an evil iterator removes its own next function.

  Now the slot is filled with a function that always raises.

  Will not backport: extensions compiled with 2.6.x would not run on 2.6.0.

The patch fixes several issues with Py_NewInterpreter as well as the demo for multiple subinterpreters.
Most of the patch was written by MvL with help from Benjamin, Amaury and me. Graham Dumpleton has verified that this patch fixes an issue with mod_wsgi.

Reviewed by Benjamin Peterson.

PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize -> _PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize to mark

We'll have to rework these APIs or create new ones for the
purpose of accessing the UTF-8 representation of Unicode objects

The repr() of a string now contains printable Unicode characters unescaped.
The new ascii() builtin can be used to get a repr() with only ASCII characters in it.

formatting.

Includes:
 - Modifying tests for basic types to use __format__ methods, instead
   of builtin "format".
 - Adding PyObject_Format.
 - General str/unicode cleanup discovered when backporting to 2.6.
 - Removing datetimemodule.c's time_format, since it was identical
   to date_format.

The files in Objects/stringlib that implement PEP 3101 (stringdefs.h,
unicodedefs.h, formatter.h, string_format.h) are identical in trunk
and py3k.  Any changes from here on should be made to trunk, and
changes will propogate to py3k).
