Also remove gopher support from urllib/urllib2.  As both imported gopherlib the
usage of the support would have raised a DeprecationWarning.

Add what looks like a necessary call to PyErr_NoMemory() when PyMem_MALLOC()
fails.

The message about references leaking is maintained to provide as much
info as possible rather than simply suppressing the message at the source.

Fix a segfault when b"" was passed to b2a_qp() -- it was using strchr()
instead of memchr().

If the call to requires() doesn't precede the filesystem check, we get the following situation:
1. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo # test needs urlfetch, not enabled, so skipped
2. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u urlfetch test_foo # test runs
3. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo # test runs (!)

By moving the call to requires() *before* the filesystem check, the fact that fetched files are cached on the local disk becomes an implementation detail, rather than a semantics-changing point of note.

As per Armin Rigo's suggestion, remove special handing from intobject.c to deal with the peculiarities of classobject's implementation of the number protocol.  The nb_long method of classobject now falls back to nb_int if there is no __long__ attribute present.

Fixes SF #1703286, will backport to release25-maint.

Update the pcbuild8 solution.  Straightened out the _ctypes project by using a .vsproj file and a masm64.rules file to avoid redundancy

remaining crashes in the ctypes tests, when functions return float or
double types.

version on win64 by using proper argtypes and restype function
attributes.

- Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
- Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows.  There is only Itanium and x64.  Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
- Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
- Fixed thread_nt.h.  The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn´t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier.  Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
- Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
- PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
- PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.

With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.

Fix those parts in the testsuite that assumed that sys.maxint would cause overflow on x64.  Now the testsuite is well behaved on that platform.
