Summary: int overflow code needs tests

Initial Comment:
The code that implements phase A of PEP 237 is now
checked in. It seems to work, but it deserves a test
suite. When I had first coded it, there were quite a
few surprises when I ran it!

I'm looking for a volunteer to create a test that
checks the various boundary cases, different optional
behaviors, etc.

I need to concentrate on type/class unification, so I
won't get to this myself.

I added tests to test_long.py that check for auto-long on 
overflowing + - * / ** unary_minus divmod and 3-arg pow.  
That turned up several bugs, but most unrelated to the PEP!

I don't intend to do more on this.  "various boundary 
cases" are pretty well covered now, but "different optional 
behaviors" aren't at all.
