Start simplifying the code.

Code cleanups.

Imports normalization.

Now use ZODB.utils.z64 instead of '\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0' where appropriate.

Connection.root():  Repair error in docstring.

Remove duplicate declaration and definition of py___getstate__.

The tests here have to be run manually for now, so rename
the directory so test.py doesn't complain about it.

Duplicate import removed.

Merge revs 27788 and 27795 from Zope trunk.

See Collector #1350.

ghostify() and unghostify() detect one form of thread insanity
now.  In a debug build, they abort the process if it happens.
In a release build, unghostify() raises SystemError, and
ghostify() ignores it (ghostify() can't raise an exception).

Use proto 1 pickles in ZEO/zrpc/Marshaller.encode().

This rehabilitates the good part of Andreas's change; adds
news; adds comments; and adds more comments about the
sequence of undocumented cPickle gimmicks this relies on.

Collector #1517: History tab for ZPT does not work

and extension fields out of the object pickle, due to
starting the read at a wrong location.

os.listdir() now prints errors on stdout

Transaction.begin().

When raising DeprecationWarning, point the warning machinery at
the caller, not at Transaction.begin() itself.  As is (voice
of experience <wink>), these warnings are darned near useless to
track down code that needs to be changed on Zope trunk.  With the
change, the warnings point directly at the deprecated uses.
