Summary: add None values in SimpleXMLRPCServer

Initial Comment:
Using SimpleXMLRPCServer I've been having some problems when trying to use "None" values. Apparently  it uses a "dumps" function from xmlrpclib to generate the response. This function does support "None" values, but needs an extra parameter to allow them.

The patch attached adds a new parameter (allow_none) to the constructor of SimpleXMLRPCServer, that when set is passed to the xmlrpclib.dumps call.

This fixes the problem in a consistent way with the usage of xmlrpclib. It might be a better solution to support "None" values by default in SimpleXMLRPCServer and xmlrpclib.

The patch is for python 2.4, but should probably be ported to 2.5 and 2.6.

Thanks.
