When people find bugs in scripts such as reindent.py, msgfmt.py or
pygettext.py, we have to try to reproduce the bug manually, apply a fix
and test manually again.  The alternative is to only read the code and
trust that it works.  This test file is a way to stop that
unsatisfactory state of things and write proper unit tests instead.

These regex changes fix a number of issues for distutils on Windows:
- #6884: impossible to include a file starting with 'build'
- #9691 and #14004: sdist includes too many files
- #13193: test_filelist failures

This commit replaces the incorrect changes done in 0a94e2f807c7 and
90b30d62caf2 to fix #13193; we were too eager to fix the test failures
and I did not study the code enough before greenlighting patches.  This
time we have unit tests from the problems reported by users to be sure
we have the right fix.

Thanks to Nadeem Vawda for his help.

logging: Added locking in flush() and close() handler methods. Thanks to Fayaz Yusuf Khan for the suggestion.
