  Issue #6834: replace the implementation for the 'python' and 'pythonw' executables on OSX.

  The previous implementation used execv(2) to run the real interpreter, which means that
  you cannot use the arch(1) tool to select the architecture you want to use for a
  universal build because that only affects the python/pythonw wrapper and not the actual
  interpreter.

  The new version uses posix_spawnv with a number of OSX-specific options that ensure that
  the real interpreter is started using the same CPU architecture as the wrapper, and that
  means that 'arch -ppc python' now actually works.

  I've also changed the way that the wrapper looks for the framework: it is now linked to
  the framework rather than hardcoding the framework path. This should make it easier to
  provide pythonw support in tools like virtualenv.

  Issue #7376: When called with no arguments doctest was running a
  self-test.  Because of a change to the way tracebacks are printed,
  this self-test was failing.  The test is run (and passes) during normal
  regression testing.  So instead of running the failing self-test this
  patch makes doctest emit a usage message.  This is better behavior anyway
  since passing in arguments is the real reason to run doctest as a command.

  Bug discovery and initial patch by Florent Xicluna.

  accept None as the same as having passed no argument in file types #7349

  This is for consistency with imitation file objects like StringIO and BytesIO.

  This commit also adds a few tests, where they were lacking for concerned
  methods.

  Issue #7357: No longer suppress fatal extraction errors by
  default.

  TarFile's errorlevel argument controls how errors are
  handled that occur during extraction. There are three
  possible levels 0, 1 and 2. If errorlevel is set to 1 or 2
  fatal errors (e.g. a full filesystem) are raised as
  exceptions. If it is set to 0, which is the default value,
  extraction errors are suppressed, and error messages are
  written to the debug log instead. But, if the debug log is
  not activated, which is the default as well, all these
  errors go unnoticed.

  The original intention was to imitate GNU tar which tries
  to extract as many members as possible instead of stopping
  on the first error. It turns out that this is no good
  default behaviour for a tar library. This patch simply
  changes the default value for the errorlevel argument from
  0 to 1, so that fatal extraction errors are raised as
  EnvironmentError exceptions.
