This was achieved by:
* moving many pass statements in tests onto their own lines, so they pass line coverage and can match an easy ignore pattern if branch coverage is added later.
* removing code that cannot be reached.
* removing long-disabled tests.
* removing unused code.
* adding tests for uncovered code
It turned out that removing `if __name__ == '__main__'` blocks that run unittest.main() at the bottom of test files was surprisingly contentious, so they remain and can be filtered out with an appropriate .coveragerc.
* Fix partial and partial method signatures in mock
* Add more calls
* Add NEWS entry
* Use assertEquals and fix markup in NEWS
* Refactor branching and add markup reference for functools
* Revert partial object related changes and fix pr comments
Cython will, in the right circumstances, offer a MethodType instance
where im_func is a builtin function. Any instance of MethodType is
automatically assumed to be a Python-defined function (more
specifically, a function that has an inspectable signature), but
_set_signature was still conservative in its assumptions. As a result
_set_signature would return early with None instead of a mock since
the im_func had no inspectable signature. This causes problems
deeper inside mock, as _set_signature is assumed to _always_
return a mock, and nothing checked its return value.
In similar corner cases, autospec will simply not check the spec of the
function, so _set_signature is amended to now return early with the
original, not-wrapped mock object.
