Fix C implementation of pickle.loads to use importlib's locking mechanisms, and thereby avoid using partially-loaded modules.

PyMemoryView_FromMemory() created a memoryview referring to
the internal data of the string. When the string is destroyed
the memoryview become referring to a freed memory.
when serialize into memory buffer with C pickle implementations.
This optimization already is performed when serialize into memory
with Python pickle implementations or into a file with both
implementations.
The picklers do no longer allocate temporary memory when dumping large
bytes and str objects into a file object. Instead the data is
directly streamed into the underlying file object.
Previously the C implementation would buffer all content and issue a
single call to file.write() at the end of the dump. With protocol 4
this behavior has changed to issue one call to file.write() per frame.
The Python pickler with protocol 4 now dumps each frame content as a
memoryview to an IOBytes instance that is never reused and the
memoryview is no longer released after the call to write. This makes it
possible for the file object to delay access to the memoryview of
previous frames without forcing any additional memory copy as was
already possible with the C pickler.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
Fixed ambigious reverse mappings. Added many new mappings. Import mapping
is no longer applied to modules already mapped with full name mapping.
Added tests for compatible pickling and unpickling and for consistency of
_compat_pickle mappings.

Initial patch by Merlijn van Deen.
I've added a few unrelated docstring fixes in the patch while I was at
it, which makes the documentation for pickle a bit more consistent.
