R. David Murray 96fd54eaec #4661: add bytes parsing and generation to email (email version bump to 5.1.0)
The work on this is not 100% complete, but everything is present to
allow real-world testing of the code.  The only remaining major todo
item is to (hopefully!) enhance the handling of non-ASCII bytes in headers
converted to unicode by RFC2047 encoding them rather than replacing them with
'?'s.

Brian Curtin 1771b54bed Implement #8521. Added named argument handling to winreg's CreateKeyEx,
DeleteKeyEx, and OpenKeyEx.

Note that CKE and DKE are new functions for 3.2 so I didn't give them a
versionchanged because of the existing versionadded. OpenKeyEx already
existed so it gets a versionchanged tag.

Brian Curtin e8e4b3bfd6 #9808. Implement os.getlogin for Windows, completed by Jon Anglin.
The test is semi-dumb, it just makes sure something comes back since we
don't have a solid source to validate the returned login. We can't be 100%
sure that the USERNAME env var will always match what os.getlogin() returns,
so we don't make any specific assertion there.
