This is a wholesale reorganization and editing of the email documentation to
make the new API the standard one, and the old API the 'legacy' one.  The
default is still the compat32 policy, for backward compatibility.  We will
change that eventually.

Reformat header above separator line (added if missing) to a common format.
Patch by Yoni Lavi.

Also adds the TOC entry for headerregistry.

  #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.

  Fix formatting of values with embedded newlines when rfc2047 encoding

  Before this patch if a value being encoded had an embedded newline,
  the line following the newline would have no leading whitespace,
  and the whitespace it did have was encoded into the word.  Now
  the existing whitespace gets turned into a blank, the way it does
  in other header reformatting, and the _continuation_ws gets added
  at the beginning of the encoded line.

This applies only when generating strings from non-RFC compliant binary

now no data is lost when recoding).

"Port" the fix for issue 1974 from the trunk (2.7).  Because Python 3.x does things much better, less changes are necessary.

This also shoves test_email_codecs_rename.py onto test_email_codecs.py even though the test needs to be ported to Python 3.

though with some changes by me.  This patch should not be back ported or
forward ported.  It's a bit too risky for 2.6 and 3.x does things fairly
differently.
