They can be valid chars in Python 3. Or maybe not? In which case Python
will throw an exception, but that's fine.
Fix regression introduced fixing #211
For library end users, there is no need to install tests alongside the
package itself. This keeps the tests available for development without
adding extra packages to user's site-packages directory. Reduces the
size of the installed package. Avoids accidental execution of test code
by an installed package.
Per the functions documentation, this argument is not supported on
Python 3. Skip it during tests.

Work towards moving tests outside of the installed package.
The tests relied on Python2 relative import semantics. Python3 changed
import semantics to always search sys.path by default. To import using a
relative path it must have a leading dot.
Forward compatible with newer Pythons.
Works towards the goal of moving tests outside of the installed package.

The json module is available in all Python versions supported by
psycopg2. No need to check for its presence when executing tests.
Should have been included with d58844e548
but was missed.
Not compatible with Python3. Makes the code more forward compatible with
modern Pythons.
In Python2, it was an alternative syntax for octal.

SyntaxError: invalid token
There is no need to import testutils.unittest instead of simply
unittest. They are simple aliases. Use system unittest to be more
regular, consistent as well as idiomatic with the wider Python
community.
The decimal module is available on all Python versions supported by
psycopg2. It has been available since Python 2.4. No need to catch an
ImportError.

namedtuple is available on all Python versions supported by psycopg2. It
was first introduced in Python 2.6. Can remove all workarounds and
special documentation.
The syntax "except Exception, exc:" is deprecated. All Python versions
supported by psycopg2 support the newer, modern syntax. Forward
compatible with future Python versions.
It was registered as side effect of an excessive definition that got
cleaned up in 338dbe70a6.
Looking at other removed redundant type oids, this was the only one
missing from the `string_types` map.
Close#578.
