Fix for SF bug 570678 (can't flush read-only file on Mac OS X).

Tim found that once test_longexp has run, test_sort takes very much
longer to run than normal.  A profiler run showed that this was due to
PyFrame_New() taking up an unreasonable amount of time.  A little
thinking showed that this was due to the while loop clearing the space
available for the stack.  The solution is to only clear the local
variables (and cells and free variables), not the space available for
the stack, since anything beyond the stack top is considered to be
garbage anyway.  Also, use memset() instead of a while loop counting
backwards.  This should be a time savings for normal code too!  (By a
probably unmeasurable amount. :-)

SF patch 588728 (Nathan Srebro).

The __delete__ method wrapper for descriptors was not supported

(I added a test, too.)

The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it.  This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.

existed at the time atexit first got imported.  That's a bug, and this
fixes it.

Also reworked test_atexit.py to test for this too, and to stop using
an "expected output" file, and to test what actually happens at exit
instead of just simulating what it thinks atexit will do at exit.

Backported from the trunk.

If the object is an ExtensionClass, for example, the slot is not even
defined.  So we must check that the type has the slot (implied by
HAVE_CLASS) before calling tp_init().

Closes SF bug #579991.

Remove httplib from tested modules.

The test of httplib makes it difficult to maintain httplib.  There are
two many idioms that pyclbr doesn't seem to understand, and I don't
understand how to update these tests to make them work.

Also remove commented out test of urllib2.

Change _begin() back to begin().

Repair segfaults and infinite loops in COUNT_ALLOCS builds in the
presence of new-style (heap-allocated) classes/types.

Note:  test_gc fails in a COUNT_ALLOCS build now, because it expects
a new-style class to get garbage collected.
