file uploads.

In response to SF bugs 110674 and 119806, and discussions on
python-dev, we are removing the self.lines attribute from the
FieldStorage class.  Specifically touched where methods __init__(),
read_lines_to_eof(), and skip_lines().

No one can remember why self.lines was added.  Technically, it's part
of the public interface for the class, but it was never documented.
It's possible clever or nosy code will break because of this, but it
was decided to remove it and see who complains.

This resolution also closes the second half of the cgi.py entry in PEP
42.  The first half of that PEP concerns specifically binary file
uploads, where there may be no end-of-line marker for a very long
time.  This patch does not address that issue.

further optimization of com_node makes the most difference.

embedded code objects (e.g. functions) rather than the generated code
object.  This change means that the compiler generates code for
everything at the end, rather then generating code for each function
as it finds it.  Implementation note: _convert_LOAD_CONST in
pyassem.py must be change to call getCode().

Other changes follow.  Several changes creates extra edges between
basic blocks to reflect control flow for loops and exceptions.  These
missing edges had gone unnoticed because they do not affect the
current compilation process.

pyassem.py:
    Add _enable_debug() and _disable_debug() methods that print
    instructions and blocks to stdout as they are generated.

    Add edges between blocks for instructions like SETUP_LOOP,
    FOR_LOOP, etc.

    Add pruneNext to get rid of bogus edges remaining after
    unconditional transfer ops (e.g. JUMP_FORWARD)

    Change repr of Block to omit block length.

pycodegen.py:
    Make sure a new block is started after FOR_LOOP, etc.

    Change assert implementation to use RAISE_VARARGS 1 when there is
    no user-specified failure output.

misc.py:
    Implement __contains__ and copy for Set.

hassle with prototypes and externs, and the check to see if the system
getopt() does what we want. Prefix optind, optarg and opterr with _PyOS_ to
avoid name clashes. Add new include file to define the right symbols. Fix
Demo/pyserv/pyserv.c to include getopt.h itself, instead of relying on
Python to provide it.
