The docs claimed that a list of EmailMessage objects could be
passed to set_content(), but this was never implemented.

This is a wholesale reorganization and editing of the email documentation to
make the new API the standard one, and the old API the 'legacy' one. The
default is still the compat32 policy, for backward compatibility. We will
change that eventually.
Since EmailMessage is a provisional API we can fix API bugs in a
maintenance release, but I used a trick suggested by Serhiy to
maintain backward compatibility with 3.4.0/1.
This adds EmailMessage and, MIMEPart subclasses of Message
with new API methods, and a ContentManager class used by
the new methods. Also a new policy setting, content_manager.
Patch was reviewed by Stephen J. Turnbull and Serhiy Storchaka,
and reflects their feedback.
I will ideally add some examples of using the new API to the
documentation before the final release.
