Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 322656596a Fixed issue #4233.
Changed semantic of _fileio.FileIO's close()  method on file objects with closefd=False.
The file descriptor is still kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file.
The FileIO  object also got a new readonly attribute closefd.

printed to stderr) on those platforms.

A caveat about buggy platforms is added to the os.fork documentation.

  A little 2to3 refactoring #3637

  This moves command line logic from refactor.py to a new file called
  main.py.  RefactoringTool now merely deals with the actual fixers and
  refactoring; options processing for example is abstracted out.

  This patch was reviewed by Gregory P. Smith.
