bug#11910: 24.1.50; Missing functions in new python.el

[Ivan Andrus]

I'm trying to get sage-mode working with the new python.el [1].
However, the following functions are missing:

  python-beginning-of-statement
  python-beginning-of-block
  python-end-of-block
  python-open-block-statement-p
  python-comment-line-p
  python-beginning-of-string
  python-in-string/comment

There may be very good reasons why they are not included and that's
fine.  However, I would like to know which will be included or have
similar functions already.  Aliases with deprecation warnings would be
great.

I originally filed this bug on github [2] but have now closed that issue
with a note about this bug report.

FWIW, I took the code for these from the old python.el and made some
minor modifications for (temporary) inclusion in sage-mode.  I think
they are working, though I haven't tested extensively.
