Since test.support was moved into its own package, support.open_urlresource has been unable to work.  It expects <__file__ dir>/data to exist, but since <__file__ dir> is now Lib/test/support instead of Lib/test, it doesn't unless someone creates it manually.  Since open_urlresource turns all exceptions into SkipTest, this means that all test runs have been silently skipping test_codecmaps_* and a couple others since support became a package.

Here's a patch with my preferred fix, which is to move Lib/test/data to Lib/test/support/data.  This dir is only used by support.open_urlresource, and moving it does just a tiny bit to de-clutter Lib/test.

Here's an alternative fix, which just makes open_urlresource look one directory higher than where __file__ lives.

I was going to go with the "move the directory" solution, but realised that would mean existing checkouts end up downloading the data files again, and also with a stale copy of the data cluttering them up.

So adjusting the support module for the different relative path seems like the better option - I'll apply that one tomorrow (well, technically, later today...)
