Summary: Incorrect ZeroDivisionError message with __future__ division

Initial Comment:
>>> 1/0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 1/0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ZeroDivisionError: float division

The latter is incorrect, or at least confusing, because
we aren't dividing floats, we're dividing integers.

But with __future__ division, int/int *is* float division.  
int//int (two slashes) is integer division then.
