[Python-mode] Pymacs runs from python-mode

Hi Andreas, and gang. :-)

This detail should be over.  Pymacs now installs a single Pymacs.py file
(after pre-processing it out of Pymacs.py.in), and it does not install a
package anymore.  I kept the capital (it is Pymacs.py instead of
pymacs.py) merely so the documented API does not change at all.

While doing this, I saw that the distinction between a file and a
package matters at many little places in my code.  python-mode has been
distributing a single file, while Pymacs code was really written for a
package.  So, I wonder if Pymacs *ever* worked in python-mode...

The commit is now on GitHub (https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs).
Hopefully, no Pymacs users will complain about the disappearance of a
Pymacs package.  It is always possible that someone will reveal a blunt
I do not see right now; if this happens, more thinking will be needed.

This simplification in Pymacs should ease its usage in python-mode.

P.S. I am a bit sad.  After replacing the python-mode bundled in Ubuntu
by the one bleeding within launchpad, I did *not* succeed in having it
to work for me, earlier today.  And my debugging abilities in Emacs are
rather dusty.  I have to put all of this aside for a little while,
because of other duties.  As Arnold S. used to say: "I'll be back!"
