Michael W. Hudson 53d58bb369 Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933.
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function.  This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again.  Update docs and comments to match.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!

Also add a test suite.  This should have come with the original patch...
