[ python-Bugs-1190599 ] dir() docs show incorrect output

cause a buffer overflow in the tokenizer. The original plan was to return a line
ending in '\r', which might be recognizable as a complete line and skip any '\n'
that was read afterwards. Unfortunately this didn't work, as the tokenizer only
recognizes '\n' as line ends, which in turn lead to joined lines and
SyntaxErrors, so this special treatment of a split '\r\n' has been dropped. (It
can only happen with a temporarily exhausted bytestream now anyway.)

Also moved up the creation of config_h_vars (from

it can be used sooner).

* Added a note that the initial file position is zero even if the object
  is freshly initialized.

* Call to unpack_int() should have no arguments
* Misspelled BadRPCVerspion exception
* Replace <> with !=

  for non-complex arguments.

* Replace type() comparisons with isinstance() checks.

* Replace apply() calls with equivalent syntactic form.

* Simplify __hash__ definition to hash the underlying tuple.

* Use math.hypot() for more robust computation of __abs__().

* Use sorted() instead of the multi-step keys/sort/iter.

* Update comment on the cmath module.
