* Include memo in the documented signature of copy.deepcopy()
The memo argument is mentioned lower on the doc page under writing a
`__deepcopy__` method, but is not included in the documented function signature.
This makes it easy to miss, and can lead to incorrect/buggy implementations of
`__deepcopy__` -- which is exatly what just happpend to me!

The reference to administrative data was confusing to readers,
so this simplifies the note to explain that deep copying may copy
more then you intended, such as data that you expected to be
shared between copies.
Updated documentation.

Added module stub for copy_reg renaming in 3.0.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid
spurious warnings and ease later merging to py3k branch. Public
documentation remains intact.

Fix a crasher where Python code managed to infinitely recurse in C code without

recursion check itself.
