Python 3.3 compiled in debug mode dumps the total number of references at exit into stderr. Something like:

$ python3.3-dbg -X showrefcount -c pass
[18563 refs, 6496 blocks]

In Python 3.4, bpo-17323 disabled this feature by default and added -X showrefcount command line option:

    #17323: The "[X refs, Y blocks]" printed by debug builds has been disabled by default.  It can be re-enabled with the `-X showrefcount` option.

test.support module still has strip_python_stderr() function to remove "[18563 refs, 6496 blocks]" from stderr, but it's now useless.

Attached PR removes the function. The PR also avoids calling str.strip().

do we have any buildbots using -X showrefcount?

> do we have any buildbots using -X showrefcount?

No. What would be the purpose of such buildbot?

-X showrefcount is tested by test_cmd_line.test_showrefcount().

I ran "./python -X showrefcount -m test -j0 -r": all tests pass. (test_pty fail when run in parallel, but pass when run sequentially: bpo-38547, it's unrelated to this change).
