Summary: 1515163 fix - traceback and str exc

Initial Comment:
1515163 is a regression from 2.4.

It is fairly obscure, as it should only affect 
deprecated string exceptions which also have a value.

raise "string", "string"

On the other hand, I did run into it while trying to 
clean up unittest.  The patch fixes this problem, and 
adds several test cases.

traceback.py.diff3.txt is the minimal fix.
traceback.py.diff2.txt is a better fix.

test_traceback.py.diff.txt strengthens the test cases (not 
just this bug; a few others tests as well.)

I forgot to mention in this tracker that this is a 
regression against 2.4, so it should be fixed even post-
beta, unless we decide to never fix it as part of 
deprecation.

For misc/news, I suggest something like

"Fixed an obscure traceback regression when (deprecated) 
strings are raised."

In order to fix it, I also broke out some repeated code 
into a subfunction, and switched some logic to a more 
modern idiom -- these parts *could* be separated if need 
be, but I won't be able to do it this week.
