Summary: Better indentation after first line of string continuation

Initial Comment:
This is a fix for Jeffrey Stephens' bug report:

Subject: [Idle-dev] Bug in Idlefork 0.9a2

Executing the following code in the Python Shell window -

>>> print            "Snake Ey           es"

produces output

Snake Ey      es

Six spaces are inserted between the 'y' and 'e' in eyes.

This works fine in a terminal window.

-----------------------

The problem is that when IDLE detects string
continuation, it indents the new line in the same way
as the previous one. This makes sense if you are in the
middle of a string, so the indentation of the previous
line is a part of the string, but if the string starts
at the current line, the indentation of the line is
meaningless.
The patch fixes that; if the string was started at the
current line, no indentation at all is applied.

I hope this helps a little,
Noam
