R. David Murray 52dcd45906 #1368247: make set_charset/MIMEText automatically encode unicode _payload.
Fixes (mysterious, to the end user) UnicodeErrors when using utf-8 as
the charset and unicode as the _text argument.  Also makes the way in
which unicode gets encoded to quoted printable for other charsets more
sane (it only worked by accident previously).  The _payload now is encoded
to the charset.output_charset if it is unicode.

Brian Curtin b9bf97132d #8575 - Update and reorganize some _winreg contents.
I've removed the hopeful note about a future higher-level module since
it's been in there for quite a long time and nothing of the sort has
come up. There are a few places where markup was added to cross-reference
other sections, and many of the external links have been removed and now
point to newly created sections containing previously undocumented
information.

The Value Types section was created and it's contents were taken from
a function-specific area, since it applies to more than just that
function. It fits in better with the other newly documented constants.

complete read-through to polish the text, and fixing any reported errors,
but those tasks can easily wait until after beta2.

Andrew M. Kuchling fb759a25f2 Fix doubled 'the'.
Markup fixes to use :exc:, :option: in a few places.

  interpreter's -c option.  Should we skip using :option: for that
  switch, or disable the auto-linking somehow?)
