mechanism for skipping some of the tests for overflow behaviour when
packing integers; it's no longer necessary.

  Add the ability to control the random seed used by regrtest.py -r.

  This adds a --randseed option, and makes regrtest.py -r indicate what random seed it's using so that that value can later be fed back to --randseed. This option is useful for tracking down test order-related issues found by make buildbottest, for example.

(typically /dev/zero under Unix) could crash the interpreter.

No test as there always seems to be a risk of putting the machine on its knees.

If the socket is closed, the client has no chance to read the response
from the server.  EPIPE means that it isn't possible to write more
data from the socket, but not that it is impossible to read.

Also, various formatting changes.

Some tests that used to be slow are now fast, and there are brand new
slow tests.

RFC 2616 says that iso-8859-1 is the default charset for HTTP entity
bodies, but we encoded strings using ascii.  See
http://bugs.python.org/issue5314.  Changed docs and code to use
iso-8859-1.

Also fix some brokenness with passing a file as the body instead of a
string.

Add tests to show that some of this behavior actually works.

The server needs to use MessageClass to parse.

patch by Victor Stinner #4016

Guard _fileio.c against other malicious os.close(f.fileno()) attempts.
Add tests to test_fileio.py to verify behaviour.

Return None rather than raise an exception if os.device_error is given an invalid file descriptor.

Fix to the last checkin, correctly raise an exception on failure.

Someone may have closed the file descriptor, with something like
f = open('test.test', 'w')
os.close(f.fileno())
f.close()
Protect against this by checking fd on windows before closing.
