file_getiter(): make iter(file) be equivalent to file.xreadlines().
This should be faster. This means: (1) "for line in file:" won't work if the xreadlines module can't be imported. (2) The body of "for line in file:" shouldn't use the file directly; the effects (e.g. of file.readline(), file.seek() or even file.tell()) would be undefined because of the buffering that goes on in the xreadlines module.
