Log: Backported PyCapsule from 3.1, and converted most uses of CObject to PyCapsule.

Backporting PyCapsule is fine, but the changes you made to all those PyCObject uses does not look backwards compatible. The C APIs exposed by the modules (e.g. the datetime module) are used in lots of 3rd party extension modules and changing them from PyCObject to PyCapsule is a major change in the module API.
