>Summary: HTMLParser.py - more robust <SCRIPT> parsing

Initial Comment:
http://www.ebay.com contains a script element of the form

<SCRIPT>
...
   vbscript += "</SCR"+"IPT> \n";
...
</SCRIPT>

which is not enclosed in "<!-- ... -->" comments.  The parser 
choked on that line, indicating it was a mal-formed end tag.

The changes are:

  interesting_cdata is now a dict mapping start tag to
    an re matching the end tag, a "<--" or \Z

  HTMLParser.set_cdata_mode takes an extra argument, 
    the start tag
