SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up"
Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory.
I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork
is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to
be forgotten. But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!

This bug, henceforth designated Freddy, was due to the mistaken
elimination of the KeyboardInterrupt exception at the previous revision.
PyShell's unix_terminate hammer was masking the problem on Linux. On W2K
the subprocess MainThread was trying to print the exception after the
SockThread had ceased to service the socket. The subprocess would then
detach and spin when the GUI created the new subprocess.
Modified Files: run.py
2. run.py: move exception printing to toplevel to allow access from main()

debugger GUI is reused with a fresh instance of the subprocess
debugger.

1. Move subprocess socket handling to a subthread - "SockThread".
2. In the subprocess, implement a queue and global completion and exit
flags. Execute code after it is passed through the queue. (Currently,
user code is executed in SockThread. The next phase of development will
move the tail of the queue to MainThread.)
3. Implement an RPC message used to shut down the execution server.
4. Improve normal and exception subprocess exits.
(At this checkin a "pass loop" interrupt doesn't work on any platform. It
will be restored for all platforms once user code execution is moved to
MainThread.)

Clean up the way IDLEfork handles termination of the subprocess, restore
ability to interrupt user code in Windows (so long as it's doing terminal
I/O).
1. Handle subprocess interrupts in Windows with an RPC message.
2. Run/F5 will restart the subprocess even if user code is running.
3. Restart the subprocess if the link is dropped.
4. Exit IDLE cleanly even during I/O.
4. In rpc.py, remove explicit calls to statelock, let the condition
variable handle acquire() and release().

SF Bug 676398 Doesn't handle non-built-in exceptions

introducing excessive complexity in the RPC mechanism.
2. Provide access to linecache from subprocess to support this.
M RemoteDebugger.py
M rpc.py
Fix the incorrect shell exception tracebacks generated when running
under debugger control:
1. Use rpc.SocketIO.asynccall() instead of remotecall() to handle the
IdbProxy.run() command.
2. Add a 'shell' attribute to RemoteDebugger.IdbProxy to allow setting
of ModifiedInterpreter's active_seq attribute from RemoteDebugger code.
3. Cleanup PyShell.ModifiedInterpreter.runcode() and remove ambiguity
regarding use of begin/endexecuting().
4. In runcode() and cleanup_traceback() use 'console' instead of 'file' to
denote the entity to which the exception traceback is printed.
5. Enhance cleanup_traceback() so if the traceback is pruned entirely away
(the error is in IDLE internals) it will be displayed in its entirety
instead.
6. ModifiedInterpreter.runcode() now prints ERROR RPC returns to both
console and __stderr__.
7. Make a small tweak to the rpc.py debug messages.
