Replace the iter/itertext methods of Element in _elementtree with true C...

Replace the iter/itertext methods of Element in _elementtree with true C implementations, instead of the bootstrapped Python code. In addition to being cleaner (removing the last remains of the bootstrapping code in _elementtree), this gives a 10x performance boost for iter() on large documents.
Also reorganized the tests a bit to be more robust.
