Strings are unpickled by calling eval on the string's repr. This
change makes pickle work like cPickle; it checks if the pickled
string is safe to eval and raises ValueError if it is not.
test suite modifications:
Verify that pickle catches a variety of insecure string pickles
Make test_pickle and test_cpickle use exactly the same test suite
Add test for pickling recursive object
"""
In the course of debugging this I also saw that cPickle is
inconsistent with pickle - if you attempt a pickle.load or pickle.dump
on a closed file, you get a ValueError, whereas the corresponding
cPickle operations give an IOError. Since cPickle is advertised as
being compatible with pickle, I changed these exceptions to match.
