  #10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.

  Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
  fixes by me.

  I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
  the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
  stat/lstat system calls involved.  I also extended Michal's breakout
  of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
  the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
  better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.

  #9124: mailbox now accepts binary input and uses binary internally

  Although this patch contains API changes and is rather weighty for an
  RC phase, the mailbox module was essentially unusable without the patch
  since it would produce UnicodeErrors when handling non-ascii input
  at arbitrary and somewhat mysterious places, and any non-trivial amount
  of email processing will encounter messages with non-ascii bytes.
  The release manager approved the patch application.

  The changes allow binary input, and reject non-ASCII string input early
  with a useful message instead of failing mysteriously later.  Binary
  is used internally for reading and writing the mailbox files.  StringIO
  and Text file input are deprecated.

  Initial patch by Victor Stinner, validated and expanded by R. David Murray.

usability for large config files.

The ConfigParser.get() method should have been O(1) but had
O(n) dict copies and updates on every call.  This was
exacerbated by using OrderedDicts which do not copy or
update nearly as fast as regular dicts which are coded in C.
