* decoratornames() does not leak InferenceError anymore.
* wildcard_imported_names() got replaced by _public_names()
Our understanding of wildcard imports through __all__ was
half baked to say at least, since we couldn't account for
modifications of the list, which results in tons of false positives.
Instead, we replaced it with _public_names(), a method which returns
all the names that are publicly available in a module, that is that
don't start with an underscore, even though this means that there
is a possibility for other names to be leaked out even though
they are not present in the __all__ variable.
The method is private in 1.4.X.

* Let visit_importfrom from Python 3 porting checker be called when everything is disabled
Because the visit method was filtering the patterns it was expecting to be activated,
it didn't run when everything but one pattern was disabled, leading to spurious false
positives
* Don't emit unsubscriptable-value for classes with unknown
base classes.
* Use an OrderedDict for storing the configuration elements
This fixes an issue related to impredictible order of the disable / enable
elements from a config file. In certain cases, the disable was coming before
the enable which resulted in classes of errors to be enabled, even though the intention
was to disable them. The best example for this was in the context of running multiple
processes, each one of it having different enables / disables that affected the output.
* Don't consider bare and broad except handlers as ignoring NameError,
AttributeError and similar exceptions, in the context of checkers for
these issues.
- Improve error message when a plugin fails to load.
- pytest.fail with non-ascii characters raises an internal pytest error.
- junit parses report.nodeid incorrectly, when params IDs contain ::.
- SyntaxErrors containing non-ascii lines at the point of failure generated an
internal py.test error.
- When passing in a bytestring regex pattern to parameterize attempt to decode
it as utf-8 ignoring errors.
- parametrized test nodes cannot be specified to run on the command line.
When Qt detects it can't output unicode (via the locale?), it elides using
"..." instead of the unicode char "…". Now the test works in both scenarios.
