Synchronize glossary with py3k.
This update includes new entries that apply to 2.7 too, mention of class
decorators, mention of nonlocal, notes about bytecode, markup fixes and
some rewrappings. Future backports of changes should be slightly
easier.

Add Python porting howto from 3.x.
No change was necessary to make the file build, contrary to cporting.rst
that uses markup like :c:func: that needs to be changed to :cfunc: in
2.7. Future backports should be straightforward.

Backport source role for linking to files in the cpython repo.
Georg added this role in our 3.2 doc tools and gave the greenlight for a
backport on python-dev.
This code is a simplified version of the 3.2 code; the version of Sphinx
used with Python 2.7 doesn’t have the function used to parse markup like
:role:`text to be displayed <text to be processed>` (I was persuaded it
was a standard reST construct, but it is actually a Sphinx innovation
that has to be supported explicitly in role code —I’ll be damned). It
is thus not possible to write for example :source:`the NEWS file
<Misc/NEWS>`, but :source:`Misc/NEWS` will work.

Confirm that the prime example is actually correct. We get so many complaints about a "buggy example" on docs@python, let us hope this cuts them in half at least.

Fix incorrect mtime comparison in distutils (#11933).
This is a regression introduced in 9211a5d7d0b4, when uses of ST_MTIME
constants were changed to uses of st_mtime attributes. As diagnosed in
the bug report, this change is not merely stylistic: st_mtime is a
float but ST_MTIME’s resolution is rounded to the seconds, so there was
a mismatch between the values seen by file_util and dep_util which
caused an sdist to be unnecessarily created a second time on an ext4
filesystem.
This patch has been tested by John S. Gruber, who reported the bug.
As this is a simple code revert, I think it’s okay to commit without a
unit test.
Fix regression with distutils MANIFEST handing (#11104, #8688).
The changed behavior of sdist in 2.7 broke packaging for projects that
wanted to use a manually-maintained MANIFEST file (instead of having a
MANIFEST.in template and letting distutils generate the MANIFEST).
The fixes that were committed for #8688 (d29399100973 by Tarek and f7639dcdffc3 by me) did not fix all issues exposed in the bug report,
and also added one problem: the MANIFEST file format gained comments,
but the read_manifest method was not updated to handle (i.e. ignore)
them. This changeset should fix everything; the tests have been
expanded and I successfully tested with Mercurial, which suffered from
this regression.
I have grouped the versionchanged directives for these bugs in one place
and added micro version numbers to help users know the quirks of the
exact version they’re using. I also removed a stanza in the docs that
was forgotten in Tarek’s first changeset.
Initial report, thorough diagnosis and patch by John Dennis, further
work on the patch by Stephen Thorne, and a few edits and additions by
me.
R. David Murray and I think that it’s more useful to have these files
show up in the output of “hg status”, to let the user know that some
merged file have to be checked before commit. If you want to ignore
these files in your clones, it’s possible to do so from another ignore
file; see the bug report for directions.
