Summary: sys.stdout.flush() in regrtest

Initial Comment:
regrtest.py got some sys.stdout.flush() calls in rev. 1.96 (and fred added more in 1.122). But according to the documentation of the sys module stdout can be "any object that has a write method" and nothing is said about flush.

This bug is in 2.2.2 also (but not in 2.2.1), so a fix will have to be backported.

What's your use case? Since regrtest mostly controls its own
stdout, I'm not sure that the documented requirement applies.
