Summary: textwrap.dedent, inspect.getdoc-ish

Initial Comment:
Ability to remove indentation from multiline strings
(often triple-quoted). Differs from inspect.getdoc by
not handling the first line in special manner (often a
sensible approach for non-docstring multiline strings)
- which should make this function more general
(symmetric 'indent' also possible), and more fitting
for the textwrap module.

Implementation is for the most parts familiar from
inspect.getdoc, though I used sring methods instead of
the module 'string'.

The module 'textwrap' and the function name 'dedent'
were suggested on python-dev a while back (by MAL, IIRC).

Looks fine to me.  Can you provide a patch for 
Doc/lib/libtextwrap.tex as well?  A patch to 
Lib/test/test_textwrap.py would be nice too, but I can take care 
of that if you prefer.

(Any other diffs should just be uploaded to this patch report.)
