It would be useful for tempfile.TemporaryFile and friends to pass
newline and encoding arguments to the underlying io.open call.  For
example, several tests in test_csv use TemporaryFile and need to handle
unicode file output or preserve exact newlines.  This is simpler with
direct support in TemporaryFile.

The attached patch makes the following changes:

 1) tempfile.TemporaryFile, NamedTemporaryFile, and SpooledTemporaryFile
 now pass newline and encoding to the underlying io.open call.
 2) test_tempfile is updated
 3) test_csv is updated to use the new arguments.

One change I forgot to mention that may need discussion.  I've changed
the 'bufsize' arguments in tempfile to 'buffering', since that is
consistent with the same change in os.fdopen.
