  #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.
........

PyNumber_Int/PyNumber_Long API function so that it no longer attempts
to call the __long__ method for conversion.  Only the __int__ and __trunc__
methods are used.  (This removes a major remaining use of the nb_long
slot from the Python 3.x core.)

Thanks Benjamin for review.

common cases are optimized thanks to a dedicated fast path and a moderate
amount of loop unrolling.

This will especially help text I/O (we already register a 30% speedup on large
reads on the io-c branch).

Minor documentation changes relating to NullHandler, the module used for handlers and references to ConfigParser.
