Summary: incompatible, but nice strings improveme

Initial Comment:
This patch changes interpretation of multiline strings
(desn't matter, single, double quoted (when NL escaped
with backslash), triple quoted).

After applying this patch, first: first charachter
after opening quote is ignored, if it is NL, example:

"""
la-la-la
"""

will be equivalent of

"""la-la-la
"""

First variant looks better, isn't is?

Second: all spaces after NL before first nonblack char
but no more then current indentation are ignored, example:

New:

def f():
    """
    This is docstring,
    mama-mama,
  apple, banana
     """

is equivalent of old:

def f():
    """This is docstring,
mama-mama,
apple, banana
"""

Patch enabled if PyPARSE_STRIPPED_STRINGS defined. I
suggest you to apply patch but undefine
PyPARSE_STRIPPED_STRINGS until python-4 ;-)

I am sure, that this semantics is right, as
alternative, I suggest adding new modifier 'i' to
strings, like 'u' and 'r', for inst. i'iddqd'.

P. S. AFAIU, editing of parsermodule.c needed.

P. P. S. I am sorry, my English suck :-(
