Fix issue #1313119.

This patch doesn't remove the wrappers for OSADebug* API's but only defines
them when configure detects that the API's are present in the system's
header files.

Fix for #1444: utf_8_sig.StreamReader was (indirectly through decode())
calling codecs.utf_8_decode() with final==True, which falled with incomplete
byte sequences. Fix and test by James G. Sack.

When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx
is called with a GeneratorExit exception set.  This leads to funny results
if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators.
A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None.
Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called.

It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace
function.

This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs
    def __instancecheck__(cls, instance):
        """Override for isinstance(instance, cls)."""
        return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c)
                   for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)})
which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True.

And the problem can be reproduced in 2.5 with pure python code.
