Summary: fix fnmatch.__all__

Initial Comment:
There are two reasons for this patch.

First, in the fnmatch.py, __all__ doesn't include "filter", 
so if you tried to use fnmatch.filter like this,

>>> from fnmatch import *
>>> filter

built-in function, filter, is called instead of fnmatch.filter.

>>> filter
<built-in function filter>

Second, "translate" is just a helper function used by 
other functions in the fnmatch module, 
and that's why it's not documented in the Python library 
reference.

I think "translate" should be removed from 
fnmatch.__all__.

While I agree with that, I feel that it is too late for 2.3:
this is an interface change. So postponing it to 2.4.
