Everything(*) is now committed.

In 0006-Improve-exception-usage-in-PL-Python.patch I went for TypeError
instead of ValueError because that matched better with the behavior of
some Python built-ins.  Same idea, though.

(*) In 0007-Do-not-prefix-error-messages-with-the-string-PL-Pyth.patch,
I did not commit the bit that moved pg_verifymbstr outside the TRY
block.  This is debatable.  I observe that there are other uses of
pg_verifymbstr in TRY blocks.  Also, we document that strings in Python
code must be in the server encoding, so I would argue that this error
could be considered a Python error and thus the current code would be
correct.
