There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one.

(There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed
post-beta.)

There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the comments
...
on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case.
Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's
variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader
thought that was a leak.
Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.

Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.
The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().
