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

Eli Bendersky bf8ab77f94 Update XMLParser.close documentation and fix formatting.
Using ``method`` markup because the method is on a callback object, not an
explicitly documented method. :meth: markup creates links within the current
class which is incorrect.

In addition, indent the paragraph correctly.

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.

Ronald Oussoren a68650553d Issue #17860: explicitly mention that std* streams are opened in binary mode by default.
The documentation does mention that the streams are opened in text mode
when univeral_newlines is true, but not that that they are opened in
binary mode when that argument is false and that seems to confuse at
least some users.
