pprint's workhorse _safe_repr() function took time quadratic in the # of

elements when crunching a list, dict or tuple.  Now takes linear time
instead -- huge speedup for even moderately large containers, and the
code is notably simpler too.
Added some basic "is the output correct?" tests to test_pprint.
