Previously, copying a super object returned a copy of the instance
invoking super(). Pickling a super object could pickle the instance
invoking super() or fail, depending on its type and protocol.
Now deep copying returns a new super object and pickling pickles the super
object. Shallow copying returns the same super object.
Copying and pickling instances of subclasses of builtin types
bytearray, set, frozenset, collections.OrderedDict, collections.deque,
weakref.WeakSet, and datetime.tzinfo now copies and pickles instance attributes
implemented as slots.
Updated documentation.

Added module stub for copy_reg renaming in 3.0.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid
spurious warnings and ease later merging to py3k branch. Public
documentation remains intact.
