- reverts change #1239 which could remove transparency from valid images
(see test_save_p_transparent_black test case)
- improves simple palette detection to handle images from #1238
cf. #1191.
Only TiffImagePlugin and OLEFileIO still rely on (their own) DEBUG flag.
I left TiffImagePlugin as it is because I hope #1059 gets merged in
first, and OLEFileIO because it uses its own logic.
Untested, as usual.
- add new FASTOCTREE quantizer with alpha support
- make ZIP compress level and type configurable
- support reading/writing PNGs with paletted alpha

There are two main issues fixed with this commit:
* bytes vs. str: All file, image, and palette data are now handled as
bytes. A new _binary module consolidates the hacks needed to do this
across Python versions. tostring/fromstring methods have been renamed to
tobytes/frombytes, but the Python 2.6/2.7 versions alias them to the old
names for compatibility. Users should move to tobytes/frombytes.
One other potentially-breaking change is that text data in image files
(such as tags, comments) are now explicitly handled with a specific
character encoding in mind. This works well with the Unicode str in
Python 3, but may trip up old code expecting a straight byte-for-byte
translation to a Python string. This also required a change to Gohlke's
tags tests (in Tests/test_file_png.py) to expect Unicode strings from
the code.
* True div vs. floor div: Many division operations used the "/" operator
to do floor division, which is now the "//" operator in Python 3. These
were fixed.
As of this commit, on the first pass, I have one failing test (improper
handling of a slice object in a C module, test_imagepath.py) in Python 3,
and three that that I haven't tried running yet (test_imagegl,
test_imagegrab, and test_imageqt). I also haven't tested anything on
Windows. All but the three skipped tests run flawlessly against Pythons
2.6 and 2.7.
