[issue2775] Implement PEP 3108

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

OK, so it turns out the way renames have been handled breaks pre-existing 
pickles. That means that the stubs in 2.6 will actually have to be the new 
names and not the old ones.

I will work with the stdlib-sig to try to come up with a reasonable way to 
rectify the situation, but until then do NOT check in any rename patches.
