[issue13988] Expose the C implementation of ElementTree by default when importing ElementTree

[Florent Xicluna]

Florent Xicluna <florent.xicluna at gmail.com> added the comment:

The first step is to strip out the cElementTree bootstrap code from the C module.
I did it in the attached patch (plus removal of obsolete code for copy() in Python 2.4).
This passes the unmodified tests "test_xml_etree" and "test_xml_etree_c".

Then I think the right approach is to fold completely cElementTree behind ElementTree.
The cElementTree alias can be simply declared in Lib/xml/etree/__init__.py.
