When attempting to base64-decode a payload of invalid length (1 mod 4),
properly recognize and handle it. The given data will be returned as-is,
i.e. not decoded, along with a new defect, InvalidBase64LengthDefect.

The behavior of MessageDefect is legacy behavior. The chances anyone is
actually using the undocumented 'line' attribute is low, but it costs
little to retain backward compatibility. Although one of the costs is
having to restore normal exception behavior in HeaderDefect. On the
other hand, I'll probably add some specialized behavior there later.
This commit also restores the news item for 167256 that it looks like
Terry inadvertently deleted. (Either that, or I don't understand
now merging works...which is equally possible.)
This patch also deprecates the MalformedHeaderDefect. My best guess is that
this defect was rendered obsolete by a refactoring of the parser, and the
corresponding defect for the new parser (which this patch introduces) was
overlooked.
When the new policies are used (and only when the new policies are explicitly
used) headers turn into objects that have attributes based on their parsed
values, and can be set using objects that encapsulate the values, as well as
set directly from unicode strings. The folding algorithm then takes care of
encoding unicode where needed, and folding according to the highest level
syntactic objects.
With this patch only date and time headers are parsed as anything other than
unstructured, but that is all the helper methods in the existing API handle.
I do plan to add more parsers, and complete the set specified in the RFC
before the package becomes stable.
This new interface will also allow for future planned enhancements
in control over the parser/generator without requiring any additional
complexity in the parser/generator API.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
