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.

Merge rev 27722 from Zope trunk.

Collector #1517: History tab for ZPT does not work

FileStorage.history() was reading the user, description,
and extension fields out of the object pickle, due to
starting the read at a wrong location.

Restore the Connection._opened attribute, actually used by
DB.connectionDebugInfo().

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.

Check in stuff mistakenly committed from the Zope trunk.

Rev 26842 changed cache-size parameters to type byte-size.
That's a good change, but it was checked in from a wrong place
(from the Zope trunk's copy of ZODB).  Since we want Zope 2.8 to
be usable with ZODB 3.3 too, I need to slam this change into
3.3 now.

Alas, I don't understand how ZODB+ZEO got stitched into the
Zope trunk (I do understand how it got stitched into the
Zope3 trunk, and into the X3 branch), and it looks like that
was left in a poor state.
