This also exposed some bugs in urlib2 and email.base64mime, which I
tried my best to fix. However, someone will probably have to double
check.

memoryview objects have a different API (such as for indexing) than
bytes and bytesarray objects, so memoryview objects shouldn't be
treated blindly as "bytes" objects.

add diagnostic information in the ValueError message.  This
change is temporary, and will be reversed after the next run
of the Debian/alpha buildbot.

particular, the error message now allows one to distinguish between a
ValueError arising from a singularity (e.g. log(0.)), which would
usually produce +-infinity in non-stop mode, and a ValueError resulting
from an invalid input (e.g. sqrt(-1.)), which would normally produce a
NaN in non-stop mode.

failing on Debian/alpha.  (log(9.88e-324) gives an unexpected ValueError
on that platform).  These checks will be removed again once the source
of the problem is identified.

I hope this is a reasonable way to approach the Debian/alpha buildbot
failures; if there's a better way of debugging buildbot test failures
then please let me know.

Issue 2440: remove the guard around the handling of case 'n' in getargs.c's convertsimple() such that we always treat it as an index type, regardless of whether or not sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(long).  Fix the test_args2.Signed_TestCase.test_n() such that it tests for adherence to PEP 357 (don't try and coerce objects that don't have nb_index slots but do have nb_int slots (i.e. floats) into indexes 'just because we can').  Three other commits are related to this one: r62269 and r62279, which were changes to PyNumber_Index (among other things) to check for nb_int slots when we lack nb_index slots -- and r62292, which is when I reverted these changes after various people pointed out that the test was in fact wrong, not the code.
