Summary: Export more libreadline API functions

Initial Comment:
The python readline.c is missing several of the API
funcs provided by libreadline. This patch adds the
missing ones that I needed.
Add support for libreadline callbacks to python functions.
eg:
readline.set_py_callback_hook( my_func )

Also, export rl_delete_text, rl_message,
rl_on_new_line, rl_forced_update_display,
rl_position_cursor

I got the OK to work on the docs. Here's the patch
resubmitted with the libreadline.tex changes.

As incomplete work, we might have to reject it, unless
somebody volunteers to complete it. Let's give it one month
from now.

AFAIK, yes, they have always been available, at least in
Linux. I've been carrying this patch around since python 2.1.
I have not looked into this on other platforms.
I can't commit to providing doc changes. With my schedule,
it was all I could do to package it up and send it in. 
I'm sorry, I know this is incomplete work, but I figure
someone may be able to use it.

Have these function always been available in readline (i.e.
all readline versions)? If not, please provide configure.in
changes.

Also, please provide Doc/lib/libreadline.tex changes.

If you cannot provide these things, please indicate so.
