file_getiter(): make iter(file) be equivalent to file.xreadlines().
This should be faster.
This means:
(1) "for line in file:" won't work if the xreadlines module can't be
imported.
(2) The body of "for line in file:" shouldn't use the file directly;
the effects (e.g. of file.readline(), file.seek() or even
file.tell()) would be undefined because of the buffering that goes
on in the xreadlines module.
