[issue3926] Idle doesn't obey the new improved warnings arguements

[Scott David Daniels]

New submission from Scott David Daniels <Scott.Daniels at Acm.Org>:

Idle doesn't accept the new improved warnings arguments, thus escalating
warnings to failures.  This is, I believe, the core reason that Idle was
failing on windows (warnings about deprecated set_daemon call escalated
to a failure).

Files affected: idlelib/PyShell.py and idlelib/run.py

On chasing this, it looks like the code in warnings.py is masking 
IOErrors a little too broadly, so we should probably also narrow the
exception handling in warnings.py

Patch coming, but not ready just yet.
