PL/Python patch for Universal Newline Support

The attached patch mimics Universal Newline Support for PL/Python
functions. For background, see PEP 278 and the recent "plpython
function problem workaround" thread in pgsql-general:

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0278.html
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-03/msg00823.php

In short, embedded Python code must have lines that end in \n, not
\r\n or \r. This patch adds logic to PLy_procedure_munge_source()
to skip \r followed by \n, otherwise to convert \r to \n. I tested
it in HEAD but REL8_0_STABLE has the same version of plpython.c (1.58),
so it should work there as well.

Should the PL/Python documentation mention this behavior? If so
then I can resubmit with a documentation patch.

How should I submit regression tests? Here's what I did:

CREATE FUNCTION test_lf() RETURNS integer AS
'x=100\ny=23\nreturn x+y\n'
LANGUAGE plpythonu;

CREATE FUNCTION test_crlf() RETURNS integer AS
'x=100\r\ny=23\r\nreturn x+y\r\n'
LANGUAGE plpythonu;

CREATE FUNCTION test_cr() RETURNS integer AS
'x=100\ry=23\rreturn x+y\r'
LANGUAGE plpythonu;

Here's what an unpatched system does:

SELECT test_lf();
test_lf
---------
123
(1 row)

SELECT test_cr();
ERROR: plpython: could not compile function "test_cr"
DETAIL: exceptions.SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 2)

SELECT test_crlf();
ERROR: plpython: could not compile function "test_crlf"
DETAIL: exceptions.SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 2)

Here's a patched system:

SELECT test_lf();
test_lf
---------
123
(1 row)

SELECT test_cr();
test_cr
---------
123
(1 row)

SELECT test_crlf();
test_crlf
-----------
123
(1 row)

This patch doesn't address the indentation problem mentioned here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-03/msg00762.php

The solution to that problem is still being discussed.
