Write summary of the 2.7 release; rewrite the future section some more;
mention PYTHONWARNINGS env. var; tweak some examples for readability.
And with this commit, the "What's New" is done... except for a
complete read-through to polish the text, and fixing any reported errors,
but those tasks can easily wait until after beta2.

Issue #7472: remove unused code from email.encoders.encode_7or8bit.
Yukihiro Nakadaira noticed a typo in encode_7or8bit that was trying
to special case iso-2022 codecs. It turns out that the code in
question is never used, because whereas it was designed to trigger
if the payload encoding was eight bit but its output encoding was
7 bit, in practice the payload is always converted to the 7bit
encoding before encode_7or8bit is called. Patch by Shawat Anand.

Bug 7755: audiotest.au is arguably copyrighted material, but definitely makes
Debian unhappy. The actual contents of the audio clip are unimportant, so
replace it with something that we know is okay. Guido likes woodpeckers.

On Windows, ctypes does no longer check the stack before and after
calling a foreign function. This allows to use the unmodified libffi
library.
Remove most files from _ctypes/libffi_msvc, only two include files
stay (updated from _ctypes/libffi/...). Other files are used in the
cross-platform _ctypes/libffi directory.

Issue #1533: fix inconsistency in range function argument processing:
any non-float non-integer argument is now converted to an integer (if
possible) using its __int__ method. Previously, only small arguments
were treated this way; larger arguments (those whose __int__ was
outside the range of a C long) would produce a TypeError.

Issue #8567: Fix incorrect precedence of signals in Decimal module.
When a Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of
those signals is trapped, the specification determines the order in
which the signals should be handled. In many cases this order wasn't
being followed, leading to the wrong Python exception being raised.
This commit fixes those cases, and adds extra tests. The tests are
only enabled when EXTENDEDERRORTESTS is True, since they involve
rerunning each Decimal testcase several times.
