Try this again, hopefully the right way this time.
Arfrever Taifersar Arahesis reported that test_compileall failed during Gentoo
install because it was tyring to write .pyc files to a read-only system
directory during test_no_args_compiles_path. Having the tests call python
with -S should eliminate the system directories from the path.

Before the introduction of filename arguments to compileall it gave semi useful
messages about not being able to 'list' names that weren't valid directories.
This fix restores that behavior. In addition to the test for this case, the
patch also adds a test for the default behavior of compileall when no arguments
are provided, and fixes a bug in one of the previously added tests.

* Test added by Barry
Also, improve Makefile's deletion of __pycache__ directories so e.g. 'make
distclean' doesn't fail if no __pycache__ directories exist.

compileall used the ctime of bytecode and source to determine if the bytecode
should be recreated. This created a timing hole. Fixed by just doing what
import does; check the mtime and magic number.
