[issue11577] testcase for exception binhex.Error

[Arkady Koplyarov]

The testcase provided shows up a resource leakage:
-----
C:\_cpython\cpython>PCbuild\python_d.exe  -m test.regrtest test_binhex
[1/1] test_binhex
C:\_cpython\cpython\lib\unittest\case.py:574: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.BufferedWriter name='@test_5592_tmp2'>
  callableObj(*args, **kwargs)
1 test OK.
-----
The resource leakage occurs in module binhex.py in binhex(inp,out) > BinHex.__init__() > _writeinfo() when the exception binhex.Error is raised in _writeinfo() at the code line:
    raise Error('Filename too long')
The issue is that when the exception is thrown the file is left unclosed.

One of possible fixes is to catch the thrown exception and close the unclosed file in the BinHex.__init__().
