Summary: Need doc: initial state of allocs

Initial Comment:
The Py_Malloc and PyObject_New/PyObject_NEW are not
documented as to whether the memory they return is
pre-initialized to zeros or not.

In fact, PyObject_New/PyObject_NEW aren't documented
anywhere for extension writers.

I've addressed most of this in my working copies, but am not
yet ready to check it in, and not everything needed to fully
resolve this has been written. For the current state of
what's written, see the development version of the
documentation on SourceForge:
