Summary:
Merging a patch from Ben Maurer.
This adds a python extension (i.e., a C module) that
encodes Python thrift structs into the standard binary protocol
much faster than our generated Python code.
Also added by-value equality comparison to thrift structs
(to help with testing).
Cleaned up some trailing whitespace too.
Reviewed By: mcslee, dreiss
Test Plan:
Recompiled Thrift.
Thrifted a bunch of IDLs and compared the generated Python output.
Looked at the extension module a lot.

Revert Plan: ok

Summary: Yep, it's up and running. We now have full client/server support in all of C++ Java PHP and Python. Well, not quite... there's no PHP server, but honestly who wants one? Actually, if we do want one the framework will support writing is as a PHP file that can be served in apache like a web service (i.e. restserver.php would be thriftserver.php). But now that's rambling and nothing to do with this commit.
Notes: cheever, let's chat about porting your multithreaded Pillar Python server over to Thrift
