[issue2512] decide what to do with gettext API

[Benjamin Peterson]

New submission from Benjamin Peterson <musiccomposition at gmail.com>:

The gettext module currently has functions and methods beginning with
"u" to designate functions which return unicode objects. The install
function/method also has a "unicode" parameter. These are obviously
useless in Py3k. The attached patch removes the u prefixed functions and
and unicode parameters. Docs updates are included.

PS. If you're interested, the Bazaar branch I developed this on is at
http://code.python.org/python/users/benjamin.peterson/py3k_gettext_api/.
