Summary: fileinput.py fixed clobbering behavior and added encodings

Initial Comment:
Fixed behavior of inplace modification without a
specified backup extension.  No longer clobbers
innocent files.

Added file encoding support.  Note that universal
newlines functionality depends entirely on the
implementation of readlines() in the StreamReader class
for the specified codec.

Updated docs and testcases, too.
