[issue2578] additional unittest type equality methods

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

Comments applied.  committed to trunk in r70837.  Needs porting to
python 3.1.

Next changes TODO:
 * rename the method def's and add deprecation warnings to fail* variants.

In room discussion at pycon 2009 sprints consensus on Equal vs Equals
names is that existing Equals names will continue to exist but remain
undocumented.  Arguments can be made for both (and some others) and we'd
like to reduce clutter but not drive the world crazy with nitpicking
deprecations over a single 's'.
