Summary: IndentationError for unexpected indent

Initial Comment:
This patch raises an IndentationError rather than a
generic "invalid syntax" error for unexpected
indentation.  Code to do this was already in
pythonrun.c:err_input() but was not being reached due
to a failure to pass the INDENT token in the perrdetail
structure.  The patch also adds tests for the 3 kinds
of indentation errors (unexpected indent, no indent
where required, invalid outdent level) to test_syntax.py .

Martin, do we want to change this? I myself have always
wondered what IndentationError was for if it was not raised
in these cases.
