R David Murray 104aab956f #14984: On POSIX, enforce permissions when reading default .netrc.
Initial patch by Bruno Piguet.

This is implemented as if a useful .netrc file could exist without passwords,
which is possible in the general case; but in fact our netrc implementation
does not support it.  Fixing that issue will be an enhancement.

Nick Coghlan 0494c2ae7f Close #18952: correctly download test support data
When test.support was converted to a package, it started silently
skipping the tests which needed to download support data to run.

This change refactors the affected code, and also tidies up
test.support.findfile to remove the unused *here* parameter, document
the *subdir* parameter and rename the *filename* parameter to avoid
shadowing the file builtin and be consistent with the documentation.

The unexpected skips were noticed and reported by Zachary Ware

Brett Cannon f5ebd26403 Emphasize that people should not override __import__.
With importlib getting used more and more, changing __import__ will
not work as well as people used to hope as it will potentially bypass
importers, etc. It also will not work with importlib.import_module()
as it uses "importlib.__import__" (i.e. importlib's implementation of
import) directly and not builtins.__import__.

R David Murray 11bfd32881 #18584: s/testcleanup/testsetup/ until we switch to Sphinx 1.1.
testcleanup directive is new as of 1.1, and we are currently running
1.0.7.  But using testsetup works just as well, and avoids the
unknown directive error when building the docs.

R David Murray fdfb0050bb #18584: make doctest examples in email documentation pass.
With the exception of the 'as_string' call in the policy docs.
That one is a separate issue.

Note that when building the docs sphinx is complaining about
.. testcleanup:: being an invalid directive.  I don't know
why this is, as I'm following the sphinx docs...but fortunately
the action is to omit the text in the body, so the generated
documentation is correct.
