Summary: PyDict_UpdateFromSeq2() unused

Initial Comment:
static int PyDict_UpdateFromSeq2() in
Objects/dictobject.c is not used.  
Should it be used or removed?

PyDict_{Update,Merge}FromSeq2 are parallel to PyDict_
{Update,Merge}, taking a sequence of 2-sequences instead of 
a dict.  The former are both static, and unadvertised in 
the header file, just because it wasn't clear to me at the 
time whether we wanted to bloat the public API with them, 
and I wanted to move on to the next bug.  If you care to 
pronounce that they're not public API material, happy to 
rename merge2 and nuke update2 (or, if they are, to make 
them extern and advertise them).
