Stop producing or using OverflowWarning. PEP 237 thought this would
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.

+- OverflowWarning is no longer generated. PEP 237 scheduled this to
+ occur in Python 2.3, but since OverflowWarning was disabled by default,
+ nobody realized it was still being generated. On the chance that user
+ code is still using them, the Python builtin OverflowWarning, and
+ corresponding C API PyExc_OverflowWarning, will exist until Python 2.5.
