imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name

right way"). Fiddle __future__.py to use them.
Jeremy's pyassem.py may also want to use them (by-hand duplication of

#449043 supporting __future__ in simulated shells
in support of PEP 264.
Much has changed from the patch version:
+ Repaired bad hex constant for nested_scopes.
+ Defined symbolic CO_xxx names so global search will find these uses.
+ Made the exported list of feature names explicit, instead of abusing

+ Added gross .compiler_flag verification to test___future__.py, and
reworked it a little to make use of the newly exported explicit list
of feature names.
