tests that expect to be skipped if imports fail or functions don't
exist to use import_function and import_module. The ultimate goal is
to change regrtest to not skip automatically on ImportError. Checking
in now to make sure the buldbots don't show any errors on platforms
I can't direct test on.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by

and replaces them with a new API verify(). As a result the regression
suite will also perform its tests in optimization mode.

Old way:
verbose = 0
if __name__ == '__main__':

New way:

Some other small readablility and functionality updates.
