Summary: new-style exceptions

Initial Comment:
This patch allows new-style exceptions and makes Exception a 
new-style class.

The test suite runs, apart from failures in test_tempfile (will dig, 
but doubt this is my fault) and test__locale (known OS X problem).

FYI, there's nothing special about PicklingError in the 
pickletools doctest, it's just aiming at an example of an 
instance -- that it's also an exception instance is irrelevant 
to what the test is aiming at.

Tell you what:  I'll check in a suitable change to 
pickletools.py, so that the example it uses stops interfering 
with this patch.

I found the final wart (caught by test_tempfile of all things).  I think the 
attached is good to go.

Issues remaining: test_pickletools fails, because PickleError is now new-
style and thus pickles differently.  Docs.

New patch attached.  Did this a while ago, don't actually remember the 
details of what's new :-/

The problem with the previous patch was that one of my exception-
checking macros had the side-effect of clearing any pending exception...

You're right!  Odd.  No time to fix it today, I'm afraid.

One thing: Raising an old-style class/instance doesn't give a traceback or 
populate sys.last_*.
