Two minor changes for Argument Clinic.

* Added a "version" directive, so a programmer can require a
  specific version (or better) of Clinic.

* Finished off support for all the 'legacy' converters.  The ones today
  were those that give off a "length" parameter.  This was complicated
  by finally dealing properly with the Py_buffer conversion stuff.

To properly handle length parameters, I had to support PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN being turned off (when are we gonna throw that away?).  So I added a new type to pyports.h, Py_ssize_clean_t, which is either an int or a Py_ssize_t depending on PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN.

I've run out of gas and am going to bed.  I know I have two TODO items in the diff so far; I'll deal with those tomorrow.  But can I get a quick review of the rest, so I can get this in tomorrow?

Argument Clinic is an internal tool, so I don't think it's bound by the feature freeze.
(and, besides, you are the RM :-))

+1 to what Antoine said - keeping the initial iteration internal only
actually buys us some time :)

Attached is a fresh patch.  I added a third new feature: the "self converter", which allows you to change the type of (or rename) self.  For an example of its use, check out dbm.dbm.get in Modules/_dbmmodule.c.
