Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
