errors of _testcapimodule.c with older versions of gcc.

Fix regression of changeset 7c6e3358221a on GCC < 4.4. The _socket module
cannot be compiled on "x86 FreeBSD 7.2 3.x" buildbot anymore.

The code module was using a private function from traceback in order to skip a
frame - used the direct interface to do that instead,

The decimal module suffered minor fallout from formatting changes ('None' as a
value is now not printed by traceback, the same as None was not before).

The cgitb module was passing a bogus exception type (type.__name__) into
format_exception, which uncovered that format_exception and print_exception had
been ignoring the etype for some time, so the compatibility thunk to the new
code now does the same thing.

Provide a way to seed the linecache for a PEP-302 module without actually
loading the code.

Provide a new object API for traceback, including the ability to not lookup
lines at all until the traceback is actually rendered, without any trace of the
original objects being kept alive.
