exclude_empty: make the default True for DocTestFinder, and introduce it
with default False for testmod(). The real point of introducing this was
so that output from doctest.master.summarize() would be the same as in
2.3, and doctest.master in 2.4 is a backward-compatability hack used only
by testmod().
