Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
...
meanings. I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.

Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
...
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric). Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).
Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
...
interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
