[issue1682] Move Demo/classes/Rat.py to Lib/fractions.py and fix it up.

I'm reopening this to propose a last-minute minor change:

Can we remove the trailing 'L' from the numerator and denominator in
the repr of a Fraction instance?  E.g.,

>>> x = Fraction('9.876543210')
>>> x
Fraction(987654321L, 100000000L)
>>> x * (1/x)
Fraction(1L, 1L)

I'd rather see Fraction(987654321, 100000000) and Fraction(1, 1).  Does 
the 'L' serve any useful purpose?
