[issue5665] Add more pickling tests

[Collin Winter]

Collin Winter <collinw at gmail.com> added the comment:

I've made test_xpickle support Python 2.4 because it uses Python 2.4,
2.5 and 2.6 to check that we haven't broken backwards compatibility with
those versions.

I made AbstractCompatTests use cPickle because that's what I've been
changing :) I can add tests for the pure-Python pickle module if you
want. At that point, though, test_xpickle will be very slow and we'll
want to add a regrtest resource to control how much time test_xpickle
spends running. Does xpickle work for the resource name (ie, regrtest.py
-u xpickle)?

I agree with your other points.
