Summary: cPickle.BadPickleGet is a string

Initial Comment:
cPickle passes BadPickleGet to PyErr_SetObject() in a
few places.  As raising strings being deprecated, this
seems bad.  The attached patch makes BadPickleGet a
real Exception.  Hopefully this is correct (This is my
first attempt at such a modification).  I don't see any
code in the stdlib that relies on BadPickleGet being a
string, and it seems unlikely that anyone other than
cPickle itself would be using it at all.

The attached patch is against current cvs HEAD.  It
should probably go into the 2.2 branch too (if it or a
similar fix is accepted).
