Issue #4237: io.FileIO() was raising invalid warnings caused by insufficient initialization of PyFileIOObject struct members.

The 2.x dict.iteritems() returns an iterator,
whereas the 3.0 dict.items() returns a "view",
which is iterable, but not an iterator with its __next__ method.

Patch by Hirokazu Yamamoto.

Deprecate the previously undocumented Pickler.fast attribute.
Revamp the "Pickling Class Instances" section.
Reorganize sections and subsections.
Clean up TextReader example.
