Added documentation for gettempprefix().

Deprecated direct access to template.

IMAP4 commands. Also changed the command descriptions
to show optional extra commands where appropriate.
Fred Drake:

when arguments are missing from search() and uid().

Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are
...
now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.
Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention
...
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.

The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and

Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.

Eric Raymond:
...
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename. The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.
(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.
