Summary: asynchat.async_chat missing methods

Initial Comment:
asynchat.ascync_chat is an abstract class.  To use it
you have to 
subclass it and define (at least)
collect_incoming_data and 
found_terminator.  These
methods are both called from other 
asynchat_chat
methods.  They should probably be defined to 
raise
NotImplementedError.  This shuts up a couple
pychecker 
errors, but more importantly, makes it 
obvious to people 
reading the source code or running
pydoc that they are part of the 
formal interface.

I can't check anything in right now, but here 
are
a couple methods that I think should work.

def 
collect_incoming_data(self, data):
        raise 
NotImplementedError, "must be implemented in subclass"

def 
found_terminator(self):
        raise NotImplementedError, "must 
be implemented in subclass"
