The idea of splitting plpython.c (an almost 5k lines file) into
something more modular.

It's been floated around here:

http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Large-C-files-tt4766446.html#a4773493

and I think at other occasions, too.

The patch introduces no behavioural changes, it's only shuffling code
around. The only goal is to improve the maintainability.

I guess the reviewer could verify that a) I haven't botched the split
and it all still compiles and workds b) the choice of which modules were
defined is correct

Cheers,
