[issue8140] extend compileall to compile single files

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org>:

when byte-compiling files in a deb/rpm package distributed e.g. in a Linux distribution, it is sometimes wanted to only touch the files found in the deb/rpm, which can be a subset of the files in a directory. the attached patch now lets compileall accept files as arguments as well and adds the recognition of @<filelist> and @- to expand the arguments with the contents of the file (@- meaning to read for stdin). Is this ok for 2.7, and a port of that to 3.2?
