[issue2637] urllib.quote() escapes characters unnecessarily and contrary to docs

[Nir Soffer]

You can control what is safe in your particular context using the safe 
keyword argument.

How do you want to support unicode? you must decide which character 
encoding you like, which depends on the server side decoding the url.

Just document the fact that this function does not accept unicode.
