Added IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL comparison option. The need is explained

in the new docs.

DocTestRunner.__run:  Separate the determination of the example outcome
from reporting that outcome, to squash brittle code duplication and
excessive nesting.

\begin{datadesc}{IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL}
When specified, an example that expects an exception passes if
an exception of the expected type is raised, even if the exception
detail does not match. For example, an example expecting
\samp{ValueError: 42} will pass if the actual exception raised is
\samp{ValueError: 3*14}, but will fail, e.g., if
\exception{TypeError} is raised.
Note that a similar effect can be obtained using \constant{ELLIPSIS},
and \constant{IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL} may go away when Python releases
prior to 2.4 become uninteresting. Until then,
\constant{IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL} is the only clear way to write a
doctest that doesn't care about the exception detail yet continues
to pass under Python releases prior to 2.4 (doctest directives
appear to be comments to them). For example,
\begin{verbatim}
>>> (1, 2)[3] = 'moo' #doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: object doesn't support item assignment
\end{verbatim}
passes under Python 2.4 and Python 2.3. The detail changed in 2.4,
to say "does not" instead of "doesn't".
